Unemployment Insurance question

Sign in to disble this ad
I've been on UI since I lost my job last January. My state benefits ran out this past week, so I went to my local UI office and applied for and was approved for the federal benefits extension. My question is how long can I expect to wait before my benefits resume?

It should be automatic....just keep filing your claim thingy like you do every two weeks or however it works in your state.

Call them. I kinda would have asked when I was applying for the extension.

Yes, it should kick in right away. I'm back to work but was laid off from late January '09 until March of this year and had no problem with the federal benefits. Hope things go well for you and I wish you well with the job search.

Keep the Faith, my friend.

I tried, but they kept telling me that all their operators were busy and to call back tomorrow! And when I went to the office to apply they told me it would be a few days. But I've never been one to trust what the Government tells me, that's why I'm asking here!

Update - I got my money today. I'm a happy camper now! Too bad most of it had to go to rent! Oh well...
