Once you have exhausted your regular unemployment benefits of 26 weeks, you may qualify for additional federal benefits called Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC). These benefits are paid throughout phases called tiers. There are additional requirements you will need to complete to be eligible for EUC. More EUC Requirements>
If you are unsure whether or not you have exhausted your benefits, check your account details using MyUI Claimant.
If you exhausted your regular benefits you may be eligible for Tier 1 benefits, for which you must apply. Tier 1 lasts for up to 14 weeks.
If you exhausted your Tier 1 benefits and are still eligible, we automatically transition you to Tier 2 benefits and no additional action is required by you. Tier 2 lasts for up to 14 weeks.
If you exhausted your Tier 2 benefits and are still eligible, we automatically transition you to Tier 3 benefits and no additional action is required by you. Tier 3 lasts for up to 9 weeks.
If you have run out of all benefits, including Tier 3 of federal extended benefits, you may stop requesting payment. We do not expect any further legislation to extend the money available for this program.
