On November 6 , 2009, legislation to extend Emergency Unemployment Compensation was signed by President Obama. Programming changes needed to implement the new legislation are in progress.

The first payable week under the new law is the week ending November 14, 2009. If you have exhausted all your benefits, you may submit a weekly certification (by telephoning 800-752-7389 or by filing online) on Wednesday, November 18, 2009. You should be able to access the system by using the last PIN you created.

As soon as we are able to complete and test all the required programming changes, you will be notified by mail if you are eligible for additional benefits.
