    Default Extended Unemployment Benefits in Texas

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Texas. I received a letter from the Texas Employment Commission stating that I qualified for the state's extended benefits based on my wages from my claim from my regular unemployment benefits. My regular claim has been exhausted. I have also received an initial extension. I received a letter the next day stating that my claim was cancelled as I have not earned wages equal to 6 times my weekly benefit amount since the beginning of my last benefit year. This doesn't even make sense to me since I have been unemployed.

    Default Re: Extended Unemployment Benefits in Texas

    I prefer to be as informed as possible before I call the state regarding claim disputes; however, since I was unable to gather any outside information I did call the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC). They explained that the letter I received which said my claim was cancelled was simply an automated letter that was generated on a quarterly basis regarding eligibility and wages and that I should disregard the letter. So, I am eligible for extended benefits and just need to continue to file my claims per TWC instructions.My advise to anyone in Texas who receives a letter saying a claim cannot be paid: continue to file your payment requests in a timely manner while the situation is being resolved in order to avoid ANY future problems receiving your benefits.
