I’ve discovered that my regular unemployment benefits have just ended (receiving a check for just $13 was my first clue). However I can now apply for Federal Extended Unemployment Benefits (TEUC).
The paragraph on my statement about benefits-ending directed me to call my local unemployment tele-center to apply. I’ve been trying to get through to them, but so far I’ve either encountered busy signals or wait-times of around 45 minutes.
Anyhow, to anyone that’s applied for Extended Benefits before, is there a lot of paperwork involved? And, do I have to qualify for this level of benefits, or is it just a matter of sending in the forms?
Update 01/29: I called them today and applied right over the phone — the process was pleasantly straightforward.
who do I call for federal extended benefits?
