Yes, Texas participates in the federal extension program for unemployment benefits. This program provides additional benefits to individuals who have exhausted their regular unemployment insurance. The availability and specifics of these extensions can vary based on economic conditions and federal legislation. It's essential for individuals to check with the Texas Workforce Commission for the most current information and eligibility requirements.

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.

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.
