Hey rod102988, what
state are you in? Was your initial claim PUA or regular UI??
Anyhow the current stimulus being passed through Reconciliation just went from House committees to Senate. The reconciliation process takes longer as its much more complex. However, at the latest it should be passed by mid March. It includes extends unemployment until August and also includes a $400 Federal add on, per week.
States have differing rules, caveats & of course it differs by individual circumstance. However, part of the bylaws in the extensions so far specifically note
"people that have exhausted all benefits." Considering you were eligible for the new PEUC, I am almost sure your benefits would in fact get extended with the new law...
Look at my post here for much more detail:
