The answer is YES. President Bush passed the bill on June 30,2008. It goes into effect as of July 6, 2008.

Click on the EUC(Emergency Unemployment Compensation) benefits.

At least Bush did something right for a change since the economy is so bad right now and so many people in so many ways are suffering. Good luck to everyone and hopefully the situation will get better soon. Hope this info helps many in need.

A second extension of unemployment benefits was also signed on November 21, 2008. This extension became effective in Florida on November 23, 2008. For details or to file claims and extend benefits, check with your state unemployment office, see the Related Link below.

No, you do not need to file for the extension. It is done automatically and a letter will be sent to you to that effect. Contact them if not notified within 7 days after your last reporting. See the Related Link below, under "Certifying For Weeks" item #14 for details.

Will you get the second unemployment extension?

Yes, if you and the state qualify. This answer sucks!!!!Response:If the state qualifies (by having an unemployment rate greater than the national average, or as the federal requirements dictate), then unemployment compensation would normally extend because of extended hardships. If the state did not qualify (i.e. by having a low unemployment rate and therefore not needing an extension), then if you had exhausted your own extension rights, you would not get an extension. Each state has its own laws and criteria for one's extension, so a definitive answer to the question is not possible as the question is vague as to the circumstances.
