NOTICE:
The Budget
Control Act of 2011 requires across-the-board
budget reductions to many federal programs,
including the Emergency Unemployment
Compensation (EUC) program. These reductions are
generally known as “sequestration.” This means
that payments of EUC for weeks that begin on or
after March 31, 2013, must be reduced by 10.7
percent for each week of unemployment through
September 2013.
You will be sent a revised EUC monetary
determination providing you with the new
remaining entitlement and new weekly benefit
amount for your EUC claim. You will be notified
if there are subsequent changes affecting your
EUC entitlement. |
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Emergency Unemployment Compensation
(EUC) will be available through 2013.
The President has
signed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012
that includes the EUC extension. The legislation
authorizes up to 37 weeks of EUC benefits for
individuals who have exhausted their regular
benefits (which last up to 26 weeks). The new
law did not increase or decrease the number of
weeks available. If you had not received all of
your EUC benefits before Dec. 29, 2012, then you
may continue to claim EUC until you run out. If
you run out of regular benefits after Dec. 29,
2012, and you still meet eligibility
requirements, you may apply for and claim EUC
benefits. If you have already received all of
the EUC benefits for which you were eligible,
the new legislation does not grant you
additional weeks of benefits.

ALERT:
If you know of anyone collecting unemployment insurance benefits while working, while unable to work, or to which they are not eligible you should report this anonymously to
