If you don't qualify for a new (2nd) benefit year because you haven't returned to work during your first benefit year and earned at least 6x the average weekly wage, then when you file for your 2nd benefit year a "dummy" benefit year will be set up for you and any unused extension money from your 1st benefit year will be transferred to your dummy benefit year. But in this case, the payment may be delayed until programming is done in our system for these cases. You'd really need to contact ESC to get an accurate picture of what's going on with your claim.
any way for them over the phone to manually do the pull forward or do we just have to wait indefinitely for the computers to decide when they will reset?
On Thursday (three days ago) I received a call from the manager of my branch of the ESC who told me that the programming was fixed and when I checked my debit card the money I had been waiting for was there. But today when I filed for benefits, it stated that the money would be held because of a "past disqualification". These words were in someone else's message that got the same thing "can not be processed for payment because of a prior disqualification". There is only one disqualification I can think of and that's this benefit year thing again. Does this "new legistration" that was stated in the messages above mine stop me from now getting the money that has already been made available to me in my 2nd benefit "dummy" year and my second tier? According to my letter I have until August before the 2nd tier's pot of money runs out. And thank you so much for you help. It's a godsend for us.
You may get that message every week when you file, and it may still release payment even if you get that message, I'm not sure. Without being able to actually see what's going on with your claim, it's hard for me to say why it is you're getting that message. I wouldn't know what your claim has set up for, what was paid last week, etc.
Anyone that exhausted their Tier 1, 2 or 3 EUC benefits yesterday is not eligible for anymore EUC until the Senate takes up the legislation to extend the program. You might have the money sitting there waiting...but you're waiting for the Senate to act and extend the EUC program before you can get anymore of it.
You may want to visit your local office and have them explain (show) to you where you are in the process, what you're waiting for, what's happening with your claim, etc.

It's an internal programming issue. Have to wait for them to get the programming finished.

Thank you. If I don't get any money tomorrow afternoon I'll call my branch again and see what they can do. Apparently the programming is done for people in my area. Thank you so much for your time. I hope you're getting some kind of compensation for all the work you do on this site, weekends, nights, wow. Thanks again.

i mean, i don't know if some 'magic' is supposed to happen
but my benefit payment history is still completely blank. i highly doubt any money is going to go to my account without it first showing up on the unemployment site as being paid.
i don't think there is a policy that says the ESC (government) does not have to honor the law because they can't program fast enough.
so i called a local office and confirmed, its a programming issue.
Seeing as i worked at a software company, with near 99% certainty i can explain why.
first off ANY WAY the state can delay, they will, cause they money they're giving us, is all on loan already.
reason 2, congress will most likely vote the new extension in place. Programmers, are lazy, because they think they are god.
so, to be clever, they don't want to "fix" this current programming issue because if congress passes the extensions they will have to "fix" that too.
make sense? Do it all at once. Why run two new codes when you can bundle save time, make thousands of people needlessly suffer, and abuse the phone CSR's.
so guess what? just like the lady said over the phone "NO ONE knows when the programming will be fixed and you just have to suffer and wait until then"
so the 'programmers' are sitting back with their fingers on the "initiate code" button, and the phones are RINGING OFF THE HOOK
the lady LITERALLY BEGGED me to contact her superiors to complain about this process because she admitted to me that the NCESC system is a mystery even to the people running it.
oh and she threw in that 'rumor' too that "the programming was fixed in some AREAS so you may get benefits back any time now
i've heard, and seen it all now, and this is like, the ONLY problem i've had with ESC for an entire year.
(INDIANAPOLIS – May 28, 2010) – The US Congress adjourned for its Memorial Day recess without reauthorizing the federal extensions of unemployment benefits.
According to federal law, Hoosiers currently receiving federal extended unemployment will be able to finish their current tier of benefits (see below), but will not move to the next tier beginning June 6, 2010. DWD estimates approximately 13,000 Hoosiers each week will not have a voucher to file for benefits beginning June 6. All Hoosiers receiving Extended Benefits (EB) will not have a voucher to file beginning Sunday, June 13. Approximately 18,000 Hoosiers are currently receiving extended benefits. Should Congress reauthorize these programs, it will require approximately two days to reprogram the DWD computer system and resume providing benefits to eligible Hoosiers. Updates will be posted on DWD’s website.
so that we have it straight, OTHER states can ENTIRELY REPROGRAM a new extension system in TWO DAYS, but NC can't fix a problem it caused on its own for "possibly weeks"???????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????
hi there - everyone seems knowledgable on this topic and Im hoping you can help me out. I was laid off in October 2009 and opened my claim, but due to my severance package I was only elligable to begin collecting unemployment in January 2010. My money 'runs out' on July 12 2010 but my benefit year isnt up until October 19 2010.
I went to the NCESC office today and was told that there is no way for them to know if I will be elligabale for any extensions until my regular benefits are expired. This is very scary to not know if I'll have any income after July 12th, and it seems crazy to think there is no way for them to know if I'm elligable for an extension prior to my money 'running out'.
Does anyone know if I'll be elligable to receive an extension? If so, how much and for how long? If it's helpful to know this, I worked 2 yrs and 3 months prior to being laid off.
Thanks!!!
