My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Ca.
I just exhausted my extended benefits on my 2009 unemployment claim. Because I worked for the Census in 2010 I filed a new claim in 1/2010. Do I qualify for extended benefits on this claim?
Thank you.
I'm going to say, "no." Here's why. You'd have collected UI on your 1/2010 claim until 7/2010. Then CA would have put you back on EUC/EB benefits from the 2009 claim. You weren't super clear with your dates, but you had 73 weeks of EUC/EB available on that 2009 claim. You'd have used potentially 26 weeks of them to get you to 1/2010. Then you'd have used the remainder to get you to now and we're in 2012. Getting EUC/EB required that you collected them at some point BEFORE your benefit year end on that new 1/2010 claim. The 1/2010 claim ended 1/2011. Since you never collected EUC/EB during that time frame on that 1/2010 claim, it was lost to you.
