My Benefits (New York) were supposed to end the first week of October, at which point I should have become a 99er. I looked at the balance the first week in October and it said I had $405 (I was on the max) benefits left. I filed that week, expecting no more benefits thereafter. I even got a letter from the Dept of Labor saying that "your benefits are soon to expire." The week after my benefits were to run out, I kept on certifying. Its been three weeks now, I am still receiving benefits, and my account balance says $3025!
DELETED: inappropriate language
I went through ALL of the extended benefits, and EUC, of that I am certain. How the heck is this happening? I am soooooo happy!

WTF?

Be very careful, someone might have miscalculated and you will have to pay it back.
I cant find any reason why I am entitled to more benefits. To be honest, I am not worried about paying it back, as they cant get blood from stone. I am happy to have the money now! WOOOO HOOOOOO!

I wouldn't be celebrating yet. If you were overpaid, they will get it back. They will take it out of future tax refunds or garnish your wages. It may even damage your credit. So unless you die or plan on not working for the rest of you life, you will pay it back.
When did your first claim year expire and did you qualify for a new claim at that time?
The only way this could happen is if somehow a second claim year had been established, you collected benefits on that, and have now gone back to what remains of your tier benefits from your first claim.
If no second claim was established, then this is an error and you better let them know or bank the money until they ask for it back.

Do what you want, but we're advising you to NOT keep you head in the sand on this. Keep in mind that this is Federal and a pay back will also likely include penalties if you are keeping money that you are not entitled to!
