My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: California.

Hello, I tried to post this several times, however it kept giving me a error and nothing would come out (mod Please delete previous thread)

My question is, since the Fed-Ed is stopping May 12th does this effect Tier levels 1-4 extensions?

The Edd Statment is below,

One of the extension programs, typically the final round of extensions known as the FED-ED here in California, is now coming to an end. The state Employment Development Department (EDD) has been notified by the U.S. Department of Labor that the state no longer meets the minimum criteria for providing FED-ED extension benefits. While California’s total unemployment rate remains high, the three month average is not 10% higher than it was during the same three month period during one of the last three years as required by the federal program.

That means the week ending May 12, 2012, will be the last week EDD can pay FED-ED benefits to eligible unemployed workers, even if someone has a remaining balance on their FED-ED extension. The EDD estimates about 93,000 people in California will be immediately impacted, including those collecting FED-ED benefits now and those who could qualify to file a new FED-ED extension up through May 6, 2012.
