Maximum 79 weeks I believe. First 26 weeks is regular state unemployment benefits, then 33 weeks of the Basic Emergency Unemployment Benefits which was approved by Congress, then Governor Bredesen just approved (Nov. 2009)a 20 week state extension.

Further extensions, past Nov. 31, 2010, have not been approved by Congress.
