My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: I opened my UI claim on 5/5/13 but was denied i appealed and won my benifits. I recieved my first ck on 7/10/13 i recieved back pay on weeks claimed, but did not get paid from date i opened my claim instead i got paid from 6/22/13 till 9/21/13. What my question is when you open a claim dont you get 26 weeks of benifits in my case i only recieved around 13 weeks. The weekly benifit was $425 and recieved my last ck on 9/28/13. Will i qualify for an extension since ived never collected UI before. Thanks any input would be helpful.
