It is my understanding that my current EB that I am curently in, will keep going until I am out of the money. As far as I understand when I earn money on temp jobs, it will extend my Unemployment time, because it is money not time. Also, it is my understanding that the EB has no expiration date like the tiers.

Can anyone confirm or oppose this with facts.
If you are in New Jersey, this is true. In most other states, EB expires. In Fla expiration date is 12/4, in Wisconsin 12/12. Doesn't matter if there is money in your account. Without further extension by Congress, payments stop.

What you are describing takes place with unemployment benefits at all levels: regular, EUC Tiers, and EB. Any part-time or temporary earnings that you have while you are collecting UI is used to offset your weekly dollar amount of benefits. That extends the number of weeks you can collect those benefits at all levels.
The difference is that the EUC Tiers do have eligibility cut-off dates and expiration dates -- which regular benefits do not. In New Jersey, EB also does not have eligibility cut-off dates nor an expiration date.
In order for EB to become active in New Jersey, the state has to have a three-month average unemployment rate of at least 6.0%. New Jersey triggered on EB effective March 15, 2009.
In periods of high unemployment, EB can expand to High EB. High EB adds 7 additional weeks for a total of 20 weeks. In order for High EB to become active, New Jersey has to have a three-month average unemployment rate of at least 8.0%. New Jersey triggered on to High EB effective May 3, 2009.
In February 2009, as part of the stimulus bill, the federal government is funding 100% of EB benefits. This 100% funding expires November 30, 2010. At that time, EB funding in New Jersey will revert to 50% paid by the state/50% paid by the federal government.
As long as New Jersey meets the unemployment rate triggers for EB and High EB, NJ is required by state law to provide EB and High EB benefits -- regardless of when federal unemployment benefits end.
