See post #9 of this thread, quoting diorgirl. Her second comment has a complete explanation of how NJ pays EB to non residents. The operative word is reciprocity. Essentially, inasmuch as your resident state of PA ceases paying EB on Dec. 4, you will not be eligible to collect more than two weeks' EB from NJ.

NJ does have a special category of non-resident "commuters" -- but you need to speak with a UI agent to find out if you qualify to continue NJ EB in that capacity.
click on the year, then scroll down to the most current report
I'm confused about CA, in the table you posted, there's only a beginning date, does that mean CA is NOT scheduled to run out 12/5? I was under the impression that week of 12/5 was the last one.

The foregoing is a trigger report effective December 5. Other states whose EB payments cease after December 5 are also listed as current on the DOL link.
The information in Post 10 of this thread is accurate as to dates EB payments will cease.
California ceases payments December 11th.

Unfortunately this chart only accounts for Federal rules. It does not state which states do not continue paying EB when 100% federal funding stops. For that you must consult your particular state.
Federal guidelines say CA [&] others,meet the criteria to pay out, however, states make their own laws as to paying when the funding is not 100% federally supplied. This is in the hands of state legislators.
From the CA EDD:
"If you are currently collecting on the separate FED-ED extension of benefits, eligibility will cease after December 5, 2010 with the end of 100% federal financing. Original rules governing FED-ED will once again be in place and California does not currently qualify for the FED-ED extension program under those rules. Unless Congress takes further action, the week of December 5 – 11 becomes the last payable week of FED-ED benefits, regardless of whether the claimant remains unemployed and still has a remaining balance on the FED-ED claim.
Because these claimants face a possible abrupt halt to their benefits, EDD is preparing to send them notices advising them of the situation unless there is any further Congressional action on the federal extension issue"

Which is why this thread was created - to provide a one-stop resource on EB status in the various states and avoid unnecessary confusion. Post #10 of this thread has a current list of states and EB payment expiration dates, based on information compiled by NELP.
Please refer to this link for the status of your state. As it is updated, a new post will be made. For now, it is current.
Eligibility for unemployment benefits has now been extended until December 31, 2011. This extension includes the Extended Benefits payments.
As a result, EB payments should resume relatively soon in those states which stopped paying (see post #10), with the exception of Florida which needs to enact state legislation in order to resume EB payments.

Update: No grassing growing under Charlie Crist. He signed the Executive Order for Extended Benefits in Florida today.
So, Florida is good to go, along with the other states.

Reason: Correct spelling of Crist.
