How does PEUC work? Will I get it when my $Benefit hits 0? (extension, receive)

[c313]

So my benefit amount has 4 more weeks left of benefits before my funds run out. I was approved for almost 4,000$ in Unemployment.

Now my benefit amount will run out the last certifying week in June. Will I get PEUC? I know we don't know much about it at the moment, but what is my main concern is that I will have no benefit amount come that week.

Will they just slap me with the same benefit amount I started with and I'll get that same weekly benefit for 13 weeks? Or how will this work?

Reason I am wondering is because from what I read, you only get 26 weeks of Unemployment and you're done. I imagine you would still have a benefit amount but you're locked from receving those funds as you exhausted your eligible dates. Now PEUC will unlock it for 13 more weeks. But my position is my funds just flat run out. Did not have enough funds for the full 26 weeks, just enough for 13. Considering I will have no benefit, will I not qualify for another 13 weeks or will they provide me with more funds for 13 more weeks?

Which state?

I believe they will add the 13 weeks to your exhausted claim no matter when you run out of money on the claim.

California.

Just unsure how the process works. I assumed if my benefits hit 0$ I would not be eligible but its for those who still have a Benefit Balance and use up their 26 weeks and still have a benefit balance? Essentially unlocking their remaining weeks to pull from their existing balance.

For instance, I have enough of a unemployment balance for 13 weeks. After 13 weeks my benefit amount will hit 0$. I would be able to continue to certify as I am only at 13 weeks instead of the 26 limit, but again my balance will be depleted. Will they add enough funds for me to receive 13 weeks of payments or will I get nothing because I ran out of a benefit balance?

I think they will continue to pay you for 13 more weeks after you hit $0.

What I don't know is how much they will pay you on the week you run out.
For example, let's say you usually get $200 a week from unemployment,
but on your last week of regular benefits you only have $100 left.

I don't know if they'll give you just the $100, and then starting the next week they'll continue with $200,
or if they'll go ahead and complete your $200, but taking $100 of it from your extra 13 weeks' balance.

I believe the payments for the extensions will mirror the benefit amount you were currently receiving on your exhausted claim. So $200 for each of the 13 weeks added.
