November 26, 2008
The United States Department of Labor has issued instructions for the recently enacted federal extended unemployment compensation program. Key highlights include:
  • The original 13-week program, passed in July 2008, is now 20 weeks.
  • The new program, approved in November 2008, offers 13 additional benefit weeks for Hoosiers. Claimants who have exhausted their 26 weeks of state unemployment and 20 weeks of federal extended unemployment benefits are now eligible for up to an additional 13 weeks of federal unemployment payments.
  • Claimants will be able to file for the new federal benefits through the Uplink system on November 30th, 2008. (https://uplink.in.gov/CSS/CSSLogon.htm). Payments for these claims, however, may not appear in claimant debit card accounts for up to five business days after initial filing.
  • Additional information on this extension is available through a Frequently Asked Questions document (Extended Unemployment Compensation )
  • As additional information becomes available it will be posted on DWD's homepage.
