Emergency Unemployment Compensation Euc Benefits
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010Florida Emergency Unemployment Compensation Benefits?
Hello, 2 weeks ago on April 5th I exhausted all my regular state benefits for UC. Today (4/19/2010) I am supposed to certify again, but when I goto certify I says that I have no weeks available to claim.
I know my benefits are exhausted, but I was reading on FL’s UC site that on April 16th 2010, the eligibility date to exhausted regular state benefits was extended to May 22nd, 2010.
I have not received anyting in the mail from FL UC saying that I am eligible for Tier 1 EUC, but according to their website and the information that is posted, I meet all the eligibility requirements.
I am just wondering if the date has really been extended to May 22nd. Or if anyone has any information. Thank you!

On April 29, 2009, the Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 810 creating section 443.1117, Florida Statutes, which established a temporary Extended Benefits (EB) program in Florida based on the total unemployment rate. This EB program provided for the payment of up to 20 weeks of Extended Benefits from February 22, 2009 through January 2, 2010 to people who have exhausted all entitlement to state and Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC). On March 2, 2010, the Florida Legislature enacted House Bill 7033 which amended s. 443.1117, F.S., and authorizes the Agency for Workforce Innovation to pay E B for the period from January 3, 2010 through February 27, 2010.
