How does PUA claims work? (extension, file, receive, qualify)

[Ritzui]

After 3 months of calling, they finally called me from unemployment today and told me I won't be receiving anything because I received uneployment from August-November. I was terminated by not my fault that's why I was paid for 14 weeks. Then I got a new job in January. Due to the virus I was off for 3 and a half weeks. My employer submited the claims. I thought the whole point of the pandemic claim was to give extension to those who already used up their regular unemployment benefits. And in June I have been off for 3 weeks now and uneployment told me I don't qualify for pandemic claim so who the hell does? Are they lying to me? I live in GA. Today I will submit another claim for March-April that my employer submitted. You can only file for a regular claim then you have to wait until they email a pandemic claim.

When was your original claim file date (the one that you collected August - November)? When does your benefit year expire? Write out your timeline with exact filing/reopening dates and employment dates. Did they say you weren't eligible for the PEUC 13 week extension? or just denied for regular UI claim? 3 months ago they didn't have PEUC extensions in place.
Who is eligible for PEUC?

For Georgia you are eligible for PEUC if:

You are unemployed for weeks within the time frame of March 29 through December 26, 2020;
You exhausted your regular state or federal benefits after July 6, 2019;
You are not currently eligible for state or federal unemployment benefits; and
You are able and available to work.

Other states don't have that first clause listed for eligibility for PEUC extension. You were employed after that march 29th date correct?

I submitted the claim in August 2019 and started getting uneployment benefits in September and my last unemployment benefit I got the first week of December. That claim started on 8/25/19 and ends in 8/26/20. For that job I started in May 2018 until August 2019. The new job now I started January 2nd of this year. The first day off due to virus was 3/28 and last day was 4/18. Employer filed a claim every Tuesday so the first claim they filed it on the 31st of March. Unemployment today didn't mention PEUC. She only said I wasn't eligible for anything but mentioned PUA a few times saying I wasn't eligible for that. Now I submitted a new claim for June for 2 weeks and she said it's pending and said I am not going to recieve anything since I already got unemployment benefits last year. Am I supposed to be eligible for any of the pandemic claims and what about the claims from March-April? Is unemployment lying to me? I am still employed at the same job I started in January.
