    nacy so let me get this straight if the when the figures come next friday and the bill is passed..i will get my 13 weeks when my curent benifits extended benifits expire. And say in october the sept unemployment rate comes out for the state and it drops us down to a 8.0 rate which i doubt. I will still get the 13 weeks because it was the trigger for june jully and aug

    i am soo sorry for all the questions and binding up the forums its just i want correct info

    As I said, that is my current OPINION, based on the bill as it is now written, but we have to wait for the final bill to really know for sure. It’s pointless to ask further on a hypothetical. Bills always change, at least a little.

    I’m gone now.

    You can have a part time job and still draw benefits, they will just average it out so they don’t over pay you, nice of them huh?

    Nice to make the switch…

    Anyone know how this will work. They will give us all 13 weeks if our avg is 8.5% for just june jul and aug. Of do they do it like this

    We will get out 4 weeks first if we quilifiys for june july and aug
    then they will age the july aug and sept and if the state is @ or above 8.5 they get another 4 weeks and so on and so forth. sorry english sucks i just got back from hockey with the New York Islanders

    Let’s face it, it would be nice if all the states received the same thing. It is a crazy time. I always, always found a position quickly, this is nuts! I was interviewed by a staffing firm and they do not have anything! I cannot believe this time. Help us all! This stinks, I used another word but changed it.

    nancym,
    If someone is collecting unemployment and gets a part time job declaring the income for the part time job on his claim forms would that person qualify for the new EUC or did that person disqualify himself by taking a part time job? Thanks
