where is my questions answer You have to physically fill out the application for the second extension. It can be found on the website, where it says application. They you have to mail it in. I know, what a pain, but it is the only way. I did so and have received 7 weeks of the second extension. Now my benefit amount shows zero, but I believe eventually there will be another 13 weeks.

You have to find phone numbers of people to call, email addresses, be the squeaky wheel to get answers.
