How long is the Ohio Unemployment Extension for?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Here is the official website stating Ohio gets total of 99 weeks of unemployment if eligible (as of Nov. 29, 2010): Check the Related Link below.

If you are initially approved for unemployment benefits in Ohio you may collect benefits for 26 weeks, providing you meet all eligibility requests each week. After you exhaust your initial 26 weeks, you may qualify for Federal Extended unemployment benefits. If approved, your weekly benefit amount will remain the same. This is called the Tier 1 program. If you still were actively seeking, but unable to seek employment within the Tier 1 program you may qualify for the Tier 2 program, which may be a lower benefit amount than the initial 26 weeks or the Tier 1 program.

On Friday, November 21, 2008, the federal "Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2008" was signed into law. This act extended Emergency Unemployment Compensation benefits from 13 to 20 weeks. It also provided for an additional 13 weeks of federal compensation for individuals in states with high unemployment rates, including Ohio.

If you happen to be one of the many who have found out that you may be losing your unemployment benefits even though you still can't find work, it's time to act. Ask about the extended unemployment options that are available to you and see what you need to do to qualify for these extended benefits in your state.

When your Emergency Unemployment Compensation run out are there more extensions until President Obama signs a new bill to extend EUC benefits?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

One opinion:What good is the $25 weekly increase if it only lasts 5-6 more weeks? Many, many, many people thought it would (extend) the actual number of weeks to collect a check, but our President only signed a bill to (extend) the filing date for which one must file for the EUC Tier 1 and 2 levels before December 31, 2009. In his comments about the unemployment, it was mis-communicated by the media, stating that an actual extension will be passed, when it just was a date passed. Go figure, Vote Dem for the first time and get screwed.

Can you draw unemployment for more then 99 weeks?

No, there is currently no further extensions available. Congress only extended the existing benefits and did not add any further extensions. The best thing to do is write to congress and express your concerns.

How long are unemployment benefits in Nevada?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As in most states, Nevada's base period is the first 4 quarters of the last 5 completed calendar quarters. Now, you have to earn at least $400 in one of those quarters, and the total base period earnings has to be at least 1 1/2 times the highest quarter's earnings, OR you had to have earnings in at least 3 of 4 of those quarters. This could include several jobs, the last probably being the one charged, in most cases.
