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.

In California, individuals may be eligible for up to 20 weeks of unemployment insurance extensions during periods of high unemployment through the Extended Benefits program. Additionally, there may be other federal extensions available, such as those provided during the COVID-19 pandemic through programs like PEUC (Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation). However, eligibility and availability can vary based on current economic conditions and federal regulations. It's best to check with the California Employment Development Department (EDD) for the most current information.
