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.
This is a question you'll have to ask the employment security office in your own state, because each state has it's own requirements.

Yes, for those entitled to the 99 weeks, it has been extended through the year 2011, by the President's signing into law in Nov. 2010.
A 99er refers to a person who has been unemployed for 99 weeks, at which point they are no longer eligible for unemployment insurance.
I believe, that everyone that was taken off of unemployment from the time the new bill was signed is now considered off the unemployment roll. In the government they are considered not unemployed, so that is why the unemployment rate has changed. I was on Unemployment during the time of 99 weeks and when our Fine President signed a new Bill my weeks were shortened to 76 weeks. I am probably not counted as unemployed since I am off the roll. It makes my blood boil when I read that the rate has changed, I know why and so should everybody. I feel sorry for the person that was living on unemployment from week to week and then because of the new bill the amount of weeks due was cut. Why can't you all see what is happening?

Yes, but only for the total of 99 weeks as before. The problem the law, signed in 2010, solved was the money had run out for those entitled to the 99 weeks but who hadn't collected what they still had credit coming for. In other words you can receive up to 99 weeks now.
