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.

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.
The state of Kansas has unemployment extension in place after three months of the state reaching unemployment of 6.5 percent. If an extension is granted it is good for 13 months.
