>In CA your original monetary determination must be 40x your WBA, or 1.5x your highest quarter to >be eligible for federal benefits.
My WBA is $179, with the total wages for the 4 qualifying quarters being $14, 482.30, well over the 40x qualification, which would be $7160. (That calculation is based on all the sum of all 4 qualifying quarters, correct?)
Hi. I wonder if anyone can help me - I just exhausted my initial 26 weeks (I'm in New Jersey). Now I should be going to Tier One. However, the person at unemployment said I need to finish my extension from a claim back in 2008 first (about 6 weeks). Then she wouldn't tell me if I would go on the extensions for my 2011 claim (I can't imagine she hasn't run across this one before - she was acting very evasive). Has anyone ever come across this type of situation? Thanks in advance for any information.

4. Why has my state put me back on tiers from my old claim, rather than paying benefits from the current claim?
Unexhausted EUC benefits must be paid before current EUC benefits. Not all states have adhered to this order of payment, but most do. Multiple claims are usually paid as follows:
Claim 1 - State benefits
Claim 1 - EUC Tier benefits until subsequent claim established
Claim 2 – State benefits
Claim 1 – EUC Tier benefits until exhausted
Claim 2 – EUC Tier benefits until exhausted
Claim 2 – EB/HUP (if eligible)
You will only be able to collect tier benefits on your current claim if you exhaust old claim benefits and begin current claim EUC before the bye of the current claim:
Quote:
General Tier/EB Facts:
If tier benefits are paid on a claim before its bye, under present legislation, those tiers can be resumed under a subsequent period of unemployment, provided legislation is still in place.
So, whether or not you can access tiers from your current claim depends on how much remains unexhausted from the earlier claim. Keep in mind, payment of all EUC benefits end 12/29/2012 without further Congressional extension.
I cannot figure out how to post a new question so must "Reply". I re-opened a California claim and got the letter today that it is only $169. I received $450 a week before. I also received letter that I was eligible for the Deferred New Payment Program. If I am eligible, why the small amount? I'm freaking out. My COBRA is $724 a month.
I just got laid off after 4 months of working a temp job. My benefit per week was $450 4 months ago with time left on extensions. I received a letter that I am eligible for this deferred payment but my amount on my report is $169! My COBRA is $724 so I'm freaking out. do they send a separate letter with the remainder? I'm confused and really scared right now. Who can live on $169 a month? Can anyone explain how this works. Website is not very clear.

CA should automatically transfer you to the DNCP. However, call them on Monday to be sure they are doing that. The letter is just to inform you that you qualify for a new claim. When you exhaust your tiers from the higher paying claim, you can begin claiming the new state claim benefit of $169.
If I were you I'd look into cheaper health insurance. No way would I be paying $724/mo. Have you asked California Social Services for any help or guidance on less expensive insurance?
i have a question from tennessee: I just completed 6 weeks of tier 4 on April 7th, and cant understand if I can get the additional 10 weeks I have been reading about: just to be clear, does anyone know if I will be getting it. I have tried to do my weekly certification but it says my benefits are exhausted. TN has discontinued the 20 week extension...

Augmented Tier IV is only available until 5/31 for new Tier IV recipients who have exhausted Tier III at least one week after their state has triggered off EB, provided that state maintains a UE rate of 8.5%.
You were collecting Tier IV before TN triggered off EB on 4/7. Therefore, you are not eligible.
TN triggered on to augmented Tier IV on April 8th. Because of declining UE rate, eligibility for augmented Tier IV in TN will end two weeks later, on April 21. Only those exhausting Tier III on 4/14 or 4/21 will receive the 16-week Tier IV.
This so-called EB fix is no fix at all - far too narrow and restrictive in its application.
