Hi. I think I have Tier 3 and Tier 4 of federal extension benefits remaining on my original claim. My question is if I can start a new claim immediately after my federal extension has been fully exhausted?
My info/timeline:
Sept 2010: filed 1st UI claim
(Benefit Year Ends: 9/17/11)
Sept 2010-Oct 2011: collected benefits of $450/week
Nov 2011 & Dec 2011: worked temp job 1.
Jan 2012: filed 2nd UI claim. (BYE is Jan 2013??) Wages from 11/11 & 12/11 temp job meant a significantly lower weekly benefit amount, so b/c of the Deferred New Claim Program I went back to receiving $450/week from my 1st UI claim.
Jan 2012-Feb 17, 2012: collected benefits of $450/week
Feb 22, 2012-August 2012: work(ing) temp job 2 -- will end mid August.
Hypothetically:
Oct 2012: file 3rd UI claim. For this claim, the wages I earned from my highest earning quarter (April, May & June 2012) will amount to benefits of $300/week.
But with the Deferred New Claim Program (for which I believe I meet all 5 requirements: more than $100 less per week; original 1st claim expires after July 2010, etc.) -- will I revert back to receiving $450/week from Tier 3 and Tier 4 of federal extension benefits that I have remaining on my 1st claim?
Also, when can I start receiving benefits for the wages I earned from temp job 2? (worked Feb 22, 2012-Aug 2012).
If, hypothetically, I am able to receive the remainder of my fed extension benefits during Oct 2012-Jan 2013 from my 1st UI claim, beginning in Feb 2013 will I be able to receive state benefits of $300/week from my 3rd UI claim? And how does my 2nd UI claim filed in Jan 2012 affect anything?
Thanks for your help, anyone. Please let me know you need me to clarify anything.
