I receieved 1 check and the next week, they told me that since I work part-time, I will not recieve the extension until the issue has been resolved.

I received a letter in the mail (actually two letters) stating that i am eligible to receive tier 2 benefits for an additional 13 weeks. I tried to file my claim today and was told that all benefits have been exhausted. you can imagine my shock thinking i was covered for an additional 13 weeks and now nothing. Apparently senate did not sign the bill for EB. Does this mean i’m shit out of luck. or could i still possibly be getting the 13 weeks. and I agree 100% with Richard how bout helping the american people for a change. it’s all good to help foreign countries but when your own people are struggling it’s kinda shitty to just leave them hanging.

I live in the state of California. My regular UI benefit year expired but my regular benefits have not yet exhausted since I have a part-time job while I received UI benefit. Does anyone know whether I’m qualify for the extension of benefit? Do I need to apply for a new claim? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Please Help!
I live in California My first unemployment extension expires in early Jan 2010, and my claim expires in early Feb 2010. My questions are:
Will my second unemployment extension start after my first extension expires or in Feb 2010?
Do I need to file for a new claim or will the unemployment dept take care of it? Does the State refuse new claim and on what grounds?
Also, will I get the same weekly benefit amount in the new claim?

have a question. Just hit my year anniversery being on unemployment. I’m currently on my second extension and received a letter in the mail stating “Notice of Determination of Invalid Claim Section 1277 dated 11/22/09. It further states I didn’t earn anything for the last year (that’s because I’ve been on unemploymnet). There is a statement at the bottom that has a box checked stating this does not affect your claim for extended benefits, and that my UI claim is invalid until 04/10 at which time this test will no longer apply. I’m assuming this letter just means I’m ineligible to file a new unemployment claim until next year, but I can continue to receive extended benefits, which I’ve been doing. I even have a claim for that is dated for periods after 11/21/09. Do I have to be concerned or is just what it appears to be. thanx!

My first benefit year expired in April 2009. I applied for the new benefit year and got approved for additional 20 weeks. Now my benfits from the second benefit year is exhausted Sept 2009. I filed for extended and got approval and paid based on the amount of the second benefit year. Now Ohio Unemployment is saying I have been overpaid. The difference between the two benefit years x 6 weeks. Why would it go back to the old benefit year amount? I did have some Tier 1 benefits left and all of Tier 2 at the time of the benefit year expiration. It then wanted me to re-open my claim after this new update. This is making it difficult for my family as my husband is also unemployed at this time. Could this be a programming error since the new extention is being added?
