This is also happening in Washington state.
There are two kinds of emergency extensions.
The second kind, I forget the name, can take you out to 99 weeks.
No new applicants for that.
But, people currently on it stay on until January 2013, or before that date, if their benefit period expires.
“Emergency Unemployment Compensation” (EUC) is still available in Washington.
I think that lasts an extra 26 weeks.
EUC will still accept new applicants, but everyone will get phased out by January 2013, no matter what.
The old fashioned, regular 26 weeks of UC is still available to everyone.
Unless Boz gets re-coronated then all bets are off.
