Wannabee, in the case of EB, isn't it more a case of keeping your claim active in the system in the event new legislation reinstates 100% funding of EB, especially if there is only a one or two week lapse?
How did CA handle it when they went off EB (FED-ED) in June? I remember a big discussion on people not getting their payments for a long time and/or CA paying in installments, so to speak.
In any event, NJGoer has exhausted everything - all 99 weeks, so there is nothing to claim at this point.
Thanks for the reply. Sorry it sounded confusing, it's just tough for me to get out what I'm trying to say as I don't really understand what is really happening here.
I heard on the news the White House wants to extend benefits even longer to those who have been on the longest. I assume that would include someone like myself who has been on ueb for 99weeks in which have expired last week.
So am I looked at a bill being passed to extend benefits for someone like myself? Or is this talk of extending benefits for others?

Although there may be discussion of additional benefits for the 99ers, it appears a somewhat remote possibility--however, anything is possible. There are lots of twists and turns/ups and downs before final passage. Last time unemployment legislation expired, it was 7 weeks before an extension was passed. Funding all of this is a big problem.
Easier to do will be an extension of the existing four tiers and, possibly, EB, although they may sacrifice an extension of EB in exchange for another Tier for the 99ers, instead. Anybody's guess.
We have a thread on this board dealing with all the rumored discussions of the different pieces of proposed legislation. Best to check that regularly - in particular posts from diorgirl - to find out what's what.

I could see that working for any of the EUC Tiers. Certify, get credit, rinse and repeat every two weeks, then get paid at a later date if they extend the eligibility dates and make it retroactive. I think with the additional EB paperwork required - it would be a mess to make it retroactive -JMO. I don't know how CA handled EB in June. If I had run out of benefits at this point in time I would continue to certify for as long as the system accepts my certification. No harm, no foul.
Yes, NJGoer has exhausted everything. Nothing short of a Tier V or additional weeks added to the current Tiers would provide any more benefits to any 99er.
So than...what is this talk about a year extension to unemployment benefits? They bill passes...a year extension is honored, to whom? Not those like myself? This is what I am not understand...?

I would suggest for now you disregard anything you read or hear on the news until it is actually enacted. Proposals and discussions are just that - talk. It is a matter of negotiation and whatever is out there right now is a starting point - not an end point - in these negotations.
Also, the final legislation may include something for the 99ers or it may not - so you can't rule that out at this point, either. Unlikely as it may be.
Again, we have a thread on this board dealing with all the rumored discussions of the several pieces of proposed legislation. Best to check that regularly - in particular posts from diorgirl - to find out what's what.
Very confused! In Tier 2..and would not let me claim
I've been collecting UE for about 55 weeks since Nov of 09. I'm currently collecting Tier 2 EB. I went to claim my benefits like normal the other day and it stated that I may not be eligible. I received a non negotiable check in the mail today stating that previous weeks are pending.
Does anyone have an idea why this happened?? What should I do?
Thanks
