I was at the unemployment office yesterday and the representative said while everyone keeps saying "June 2", all their official paperwork has come down with the date of May 29th, and wouldn't that be the last day of the pay period of the week before June 2nd?
You're like me and...well screwed. If you are on regular unemployment you have to run out my May 22nd. I run out May 29th so we don't qualify. Really unfair and PRAYING hard for an extension!!
I believe the new cutoff date is June 2 so...you should be all right.

The eligibility cut-off date for moving from regular benefits to Tier I of the EUC Tier system has always been one week earlier than the cut-off dates for moving from Tier to Tier once you are in the EUC Tier system.
Just FYI -- here are the specific eligibility cut-off dates set under HR 4851, retroactive to April 5, 2010:
EUC Tiers Program • If you complete regular benefits no later than Saturday, May 22, you can start Tier I. The last day you can start Tier I will be Sunday, May 23.
• If you complete a Tier no later than Saturday, May 29, you will be eligible to start the next Tier. The last day you can start a new Tier is on Sunday, May 30.
• If you complete a Tier after May 29, you cannot go on to a new Tier until Congress extends the cut-off dates again.
At this time, Tier IV is the last of the EUC Tiers. When you exhaust the Tiers available to you, you may be eligible for EB, if your state provides that extension. Check your state's DOL website for details on EB.
EB • The federal government will continue to provide 100% funding for EB through June 2, 2010.
Some states discontinue EB when the 100% federal funding expires. Other states revert to the original funding formula: 50% state/50% federal. Check your state's DOL website for details on EB.
FAC • The federal government will continue to provide an additional weekly benefit of $25 through December 10, 2010.
An individual must have filed a regular unemployment insurance claim on or before May 23, 2010, in order to qualify for this additional weekly benefit.
COBRA Premium Subsidy • Those who are involuntarily terminated through May 31, 2010, may now be eligible for the COBRA premium subsidy.
This is simply an extension of the eligibility period for the premium subsidy; it has no effect on those already receiving the subsidy.the EUC Tier system has always been one week earlier than the cut-off dates for moving from Tier to Tier once you are in the EUC Tier system.

The GA DOL website says that Federal Funding for SEB will be provided through June 5th, which is the end of a week. Wouldn't that make more sense than June 2nd?

I can't speak for what Georgia has posted on its site.
The text of HR 4851 specifies that federal funding for EB expires on June 2, 2010; and that is repeated on numerous state websites I have checked -- including my own state, New Jersey.
June 2, Wednesday, is an extension from the previous expiration date, April 5, Monday -- so I don't see a pattern of days of the week on which EB funding expires. This is unlike EUC Tier benefits payments, which coincide with the unemployment week of Sunday through Saturday.
Further, while I have seen states -- for administrative purposes -- shorten the cut-off dates before the expiration dates set in the legislation, I have never seen a state lengthen an expiration date beyond what is specified by the legislation.

"well screwed" ...um i guess that sums it up. thanks. glad i dont have kids to feed. i think its time to start sleeping in the car because not even mcdonalds is hiring..i wish i had an suv instead of a 2dr.......
To me this damn system is retarded....how the hell is it fair that i can't file for extensions but others can that collected way more than me? why can't the system just be fair and give everyone the same number of weeks. maybe i am just stupid. time to find a large suv for sleeping.

I 110% agree with you. I have gotten my 26 weeks. My boyfriends sister has been on unemployment over a year now. So many people I know have been on it forever but yet there ya go bamm...I am being cut off after only 26 weeks because I miss a deadline by 1 week. Wow I guess I should have thought of that before I got fired.
I was telling my boyfriend last nite if they don't extend this I believe there will be riots. So many people are going to be homeless. They say over a million people on extentsions will lose their benefits but that is not counting people like you and me who are on our regular 26 weeks and will lose our benefits.
At this point all we can do is hope and pray that they extend it again. And wait.

I wouldn't worry about it to much on that deadline, I really think the end of year bill will pass by the time this last one expires as has been reported on this board. Now adding more weeks that is something entirely different and only time will tell what will happen to that.
