Would this mean that I would be able to get my 20 weeks EB from first claim as my new claim would be over $300 less per week??? |
No. The above quote clearly states
EUC tier benefits. This was covered in my first response to you:
Quote:
My question is do I qualify for the EB 20 weeks which my state offers?
Not on Claim 1. Possibly Claim 2. EB is only paid on the last claim.
However, inasmuch as you received 26 weeks' benefits from the 2nd claim, it, too, should qualify for EUC tier benefits.
Therefore, Illinois will pay 2nd claim EUC tier benefits before 2nd claim EB.

EB (Extended Benefits) is a separate and distinct program apart from EUC (Emergency Unemployment Compensation) tier benefits.
EB is payable only on the latest unemployment claim, if that claim qualifies. Whenever a new claim is opened, any EB available on the previous claim is lost.
