I read that the last date that extension tiers 1, 2, and 3 can be filed in California is December 22 (or 28), 2013. By doing the math, I see that I will still be on my second tier at that time, with my last payment being near the end of January 2014. I'm assuming that means that I won't be eligible to receive my third extension. I also don't know if being a veteran who hasn't worked a single day since the beginning of my entire claim makes any difference. Can someone break this down for me?

Federal legislation, enacted January 2013, extended payment of current unemployment benefits to the end of 2013, with a hard cutoff of payments not later than week ending 12/28/2013.

Without further extension, your (and everyone else's) benefit payments end 12/28/2013 - veteran status is irrelevant.

CA webpage clearly states "Last Payable Week Ending Date is December 28 2013."

If Congress doesn't extend the legislation, your last Tier 2 payment will occur on 12/28/2013.

Wow...ok thanks. Does that mean unemployment benefits don't even exist for people who would be applying for an initial claim next year? Is it gone completely?

State benefits remain.

Federal extension benefits are "legislation permitting." If legislation is extended, then those new claimants next year would have eligibility, when and if the program is once again active.

What's the difference between state benefits and federal? Do unemployment benefits fall under one or both?

Per FAQS:
Quote:
2. How does the unemployment benefit program work? I don’t understand it.

The state and federal unemployment compensation benefit program, at present, provides up to 99 weeks benefits, comprised of up to 26 weeks state benefits and up to 73 weeks federal benefits.

More detail here:

States currently offering less than 26 weeks – Effective 1/1/2012
Florida – 12-23 weeks, depending on unemployment rate, reduces by one week for every .5% reduction in UE rate, starting at 10.5%. Current 10% rate means 22 weeks, not 23.
Michigan – 20 weeks
Illinois – 25 weeks
Missouri – 20 weeks
South Carolina – 20 weeks

Federal Benefits: Maximum 73 weeks (varies by UE rate/trigger/state laws) a/k/a
Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC);
Extended Benefits/High Extended benefits a/k/a EB and HUP, as follows:


//www.city-data.com/forum/22370378-post2.html
Since this was written, federal EB has been phased out, and EUC benefits reduced. See FAQS, post #6, for details.

California (and other states) will continue to pay - from its and its employers coffers - up to 26 weeks' benefits. Beyond that, the states rely on the feds. Years back some states provided their own extended benefits. No more, they can't afford it.

Read the entire FAQS thread. You'll get the picture.
