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

I have been receiving UI benefits for 2013 pretty much from 2nd week of January. It is slotted to expire on 12/7/2013. I finished my state benefits, and tier 1 federal extension. Now on the tier 2 federal extension and I still have money left on it as of 12/8/2013.

I am assuming that they will send me a letter stating I am ineligible to apply for a fresh EDD UI Claim and so continue the federal extension?
Also, Congress typically passes the legislation to extend Federal extension benefits pretty late in December, so that it continues in to the next year. So with the 2nd and then 3rd tier Federal extension benefits, probably till end of February I should receive the UI benefits.

Please confirm if my above hypotheses are correct?

In 2013 I am going to earn an income of $6610 from a gig. If I report it for the 3rd week of December, I understand I will not get any UI Benefits for that week. But will it stop the UI payments for the 2nd week of December also? And what about the future benefits - 3rd federal extension, etc?

How will this affect my UI Payments?
