I didn't get the full 20 weeks deposited for my Tier 1, which I've heard many do not. I received 13 weeks. But here's my concern, I have 3 weeks left which ends 11/24/10. Will they automatically deposit the other 7 Weeks that I am eligible for even though there's an extension deadline 11/30?
When I file on 11/28 I will be showing a Zero Balance.
The November 30th date will not affect your ability to collect the remaining benefits under Tier 1. Tier 1 was legislated in two parts, 13 weeks and 7 weeks, but both fall under the parameter of Tier 1. Since you are already collecting Tier 1, you can continue to do so - all 20 weeks - until exhausted but not later than April 30, 2011. Don't worry about it.
I know that if you're in the middle of a Tier when the Extension Deadline goes into effect, you continue on that Tier, but what if you didn't get your full 20 weeks deposited at once and they only gave you 13 weeks (like I've read from many other New York posts) will you get the other 7 weeks if you are in the middle of your Tier 1 when this deadline comes up?

It doesn't matter, as I said above. Forget about the fact that Tier 1 has two parts. The eligibility date remains the same and since you are already collecting on Tier 1, you remain eligible to continue to do so. Don't worry about it. For more info:

There has been continuing confusion about eligibility cut-off dates versus expiration dates for federal unemployment benefits. In summary:
(1) EUC Tiers/Eligibility cut-off dates - The most recently passed federal legislation extended the eligibility cut-off dates for the EUC Tiers to the end of November 2010. The latest you can move from regular benefits to Tier I is on or before Sunday, November 21; that means you must exhaust your regular benefits no later than Saturday, November 20. The latest that you can move from one Tier to the next is Sunday, November 28. That means you must exhaust your current Tier on or before Saturday, November 27, because Sunday, November 28 is the last day you can start a new Tier.
(2) EUC Tiers/Expiration date - The expiration date of the EUC Tiers program is different than the eligibility cut-off dates. The expiration date is the last day on which benefits will be paid by the program -- currently that is April 30, 2011. Typically, the expiration date is about five months after the eligibility cut-off dates -- which gives anyone who starts the longest Tier (20 weeks) on the last eligible date enough time to collect all 20 weeks, assuming you collect your full benefit each week.
(3) EB/Expiration date - At this time, EB is 100% federally funded through December 4, 2010. This December 4 expiration date is the EB equivalent of the April 30, 2011, expiration date set for the EUC Tiers. Many states discontinue EB when the 100% federal funding expires; other states revert to the traditional funding split of 50% federal/50% states, and continue to provide EB.
(4) FAC/Expiration date - The FAC program was not extended by the recent legislation, so you must have filed your claim for regular unemployment benefits before the end of May 2010 to qualify for the $25 weekly FAC payment. If you are already collecting the FAC, that program will expire on December 11, 2010 -- no further FAC payments will be made after that date.
The eligibility cut-off dates and expiration dates I have noted above are all current. For these dates to be extended, Congress must enact new legislation with new dates.
The November 30th date will not affect your ability to collect the remaining benefits under Tier 1. Tier 1 was legislated in two parts, 13 weeks and 7 weeks, but both fall under the parameter of Tier 1.

Thank you for responding Ariadne22. I was nervous because as of right now I only have 3 weeks left until the remaining 7 Weeks are deposited, and it's happening right when this Deadline goes into effect.
You eased my worries thank you
