Unemployment Benefits: extensions after EB, part 3 (North Carolina, collect, file, receive)

[NJUNEMPLOYED]

Sorry for the double post.



Dear John/Jane Doe

On November 6, 2009, President Obama signed legislation providing additional Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) benefits. The new law provides up to 20 additional weeks of EUC benefits in states with an unemployment rate of 8.5 percent or higher, which includes New Jersey.

You may receive these additional weeks of EUC benefits if you are still unemployed and otherwise eligible for unemployment compensation, and if you exhausted all federally funded extended benefit programs or if you were disqualified from receiving Extended Benefits (EB) due to specific separation issues (such as mis conduct or refusal of suitable work).

Our records indicate that you exhausted all state and federally funded benefits for which you were eligible prior to the enactment of this legislation. In the coming days, you will receive a monetary determination letter that will explain your potential additional EUC benefits. You will also receive a seperate certification notice with instructions on how to continue claiming EUC benefits on the Internet at Your Page Title or by telephone.

The first two weeks of potential eligibility for these additional EUC benefits are the weeks ending November 14, 2009 and November 21, 2009. The date on which you will be able to certify for these first two weeks of additional EUC benefits will be November 25, 2009.

For more information on the additional EUC benefits, please vistit Now Loading... .

PLEASE NOTE You do NOT need to contact the Department of Labor and Workforce Development and you do NOT need to report to a One-Stop Career Center in reference to these additional weeks of benefits; all the information concerning this program will be mailed to you shortly.

Sincerely,
Blah J. Blah
Commissioner

Thanks so much for letting me know. I was getting a little ansy ;-)

I got my letter that NJDOL said they would be sending out on Nov. 9th 2009. The letter does say that we will be getting instructions on what else to do. Well here is a portion of the letter I posted yesterday. " You will also receive a seperate certification notice with instructions on how to continue claiming EUC benefits on the Internet at Your Page Title or by telephone ".

That certification notice I did not receive but I am sure that it is on its way here. Just a matter of days now. I'm not sure what letter yannataylor you are referring to the initial letter that most have gotten yet or the one I just listed above. If you did get your second letter since this extension has been passed (I'm sure I speak for a large group of people here) what does it say? Thanx.

And hey Musi nobody said for you to go. We all get into it from time to time. Its just being able to know when its getting out of hand and letting go. Bygones to Bygones

Hi, I'm sorry you have to wait..nerve-wracking I'm sure. You're talking about first letter and not the determination/certification one correct?? I'm in essex county also and got mine tues. I'm not telling you this to make you feel worse but just in case (and I hope I'm wrong) it doesn't come tomorrow I'd call our reg office tomorrow. This way you don't worry yourself sick all weekend .. I haven't called them in the past 2-3 weeks but prior believe me the wait is not bad at all. Unless you gave opportunity to get down there (bloomfield is my closest) I've always waited under half hour on phone--worth the peace of mine....hope this is a mute point post and your mailman has it fri! You know holidays mess up the mail «« btw my daughter mailed me something from nc almost 2 wks ago and again a card on sat both from POST OFFICES: should take 3 or 4 days nothing yet! carrier and po office say be patient & wait w holiday & all »» Good luck and
Good luck ALL!!! )

Oh..I misunderstood but better you have it. Don't think lots of us have received the monetary determination just yet.. "OH NO!!" about that bloomfield office- it would get busy but was small.. East Orange is a such a long-haul for me. Lucky to have wheels but gas on ol jeep is hardship...please, have you been and know if it's a zoo to boot.(i.e. huge/packed) ? Hope I never have to go there..thanks!! & ..
Good Luck ALL!
