umployment 599 program (unemployment, costs, approval)

[ywchen]

Hello. Department of Labor already approved my 599 program benefit, and I have not see any extension money come in because my regular unemployment benefit will run out next week . And I also do not have any appointment with department of Labor this time. Does anyone know when will 599 program extension money come in after regular unemployment benefit run out?

I am seeing a lot of ifs, ands or buts about the program:

If approved, you may
be eligible for up to a maximum of 26 weeks of additional Unemployment
benefits. However, since funding for additional benefits is not always
available, approval of your training does not guarantee that you will
receive additional benefits or that your additional benefits will cover the
entire period that you are in training.

Whether or not the FEDERAL extensions apply I would imagine certainly that you can get another 27 weeks of Unemployment but I have no clue whether the Fed will continue to pick up your training costs I don't know. But my guess is no.

Call UI and talk to someone. They are best reached first thing in the morning.
