Additional Benefits Update:
Extension to Unemployment Insurance Benefits Signed into Law on November 6, 2009

On November 6, the president signed into law a new unemployment insurance benefit extension program. These additional benefits begin the week of November 8 and offer a maximum of 20 additional weeks of unemployment insurance benefits to eligible claimants.

If you are currently collecting Federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation, you will automatically have your benefits extended further, and will receive a revised monetary determination based on this latest extension.

If you are currently collecting State Extended Benefits, you will continue in this program until your benefits are exhausted. At that point, the department will inform you of the procedure to collect additional federal benefits made possible through the latest extension.

If you have received extended benefits in the past and have exhausted these extended benefits, you may be eligible for this latest extension. The Department will contact you by mail. Click here for more information
