A new stimulus package that extends the PEUC program for unemployment benefits passed Congress Dec. 21,2020. The Unemployment Insurance Division is continuing to prepare so we can implement these changes as quickly and smoothly as possible once they become law. We're tracking developments closely and will share updates as they are available on our website.

Unless the White House acts on The Second Stimulus Package, which includes an "11-week extension of the PEUC", we'll share it with you. Stimulus Package, which includes an 11-week extension of PEUC.

For those who are about to apply for EB20, the following information is displayed in your UI account.
↓
If you apply for EB20 at this time, you may not be eligible for the PEUC extension later.

Do you want to wait for the PEUC Extension?

Yes-wait for PEUC extension （ Exist ）
No-apply for EB20

UI It is assumed that the office has set up the system so that applicants have a choice. Also, if you apply for EB20 as described above, you may not be able to apply for the "11-week PEUC extension" if the White House decides in the future to include the Second Stimulus Package, which includes the "11-week PEUC extension".

It is up to each of you to decide "whether to wait until the White House makes a decision" or "whether to apply for EB20".

There seems to be a split between locals who have applied for EB20 and those who are waiting for the White House decision without applying for EB20 even though their PEUC account balance is gone or their Benefit Year End expired.

（ IMPORTANT ） Official Announcement from UI Office】

The following official announcement message has appeared on the UI system, which can be read by opening the UI system.
↓
STIMULUS PACKAGE IMPORTANT UPDATE:

A new stimulus package with changes and extensions for unemployment benefits However, it has not yet been signed into law. We're tracking developments closely and will share When we have specific information about next steps for our customers, we'll share it with you.

For now, claimants should:

●Continue filing weekly claims.

●Watch for updates on this website and news media.
●Do not call our unemployment claims call center with questions regarding this stimulus package.


Please note that the translation has been rearranged because the Japanese may be difficult to understand if translated directly.

What applicants should do now:

● Continue to submit Claim a Certification every week. Don't worry if your application status shows "Disqualified", it will be reviewed as soon as The Second Stimulus Package is determined.

●Check the web and news media for update updates.

●Please do not ask the call center any questions about this The Second Stimulus Package.


That's all for now, but whether the White House decides or not, it seems important to keep filing Claim a Certification every week anyway.

From #565 and this official announcement, I got the impression that this is not the same stance that the call center consistently told the Rainbow people on the other end of the phone: "Please apply for EB20 as soon as your PEUC account balance runs out.

Also, if you apply for EB20 or PEUC 11-week extension after the Benefit Year End deadline has passed, and if you get an immediate rejection message due to expiration of the Benefit Year End deadline, I got the impression that the UI office will fix the Benefit Year End I was under the impression that the UI office would fix the deadline.

I guess the UI office is so flabbergasted by President Trump's unexpected refusal to sign that they failed to share the information with the call center.

After reading the EB20 application requirements in #548 and #557, I suggest that those who do not meet the requirements wait and see if the 11 week PEUC extension is granted and not apply for EB20. It is up to each of you to decide what to do.

I am not sure what situation I am in and what I need to do. I am confused about how unemployment insurance works, and I apologize if my content is incoherent.

I applied for unemployment insurance, and a few months later I applied for PUEC, and I have been entering my File a Claim Certification every other week until last week. When I entered the File a Claim Certification today, I received the following message.
Your maximum benefit amount has already been paid. if you have sufficient out of state employment, you may be able to claim against another state.
Is this what is often talked about in past comments, that my balance has been reduced to zero? Or what other screen can I see the balance on?
Am I correct in understanding that this is the situation that sunset mentioned in #565, where it is up to the individual to decide whether to apply for EB20 or PEUC?
If I don't apply for EB20 now, my unemployment insurance will be cut off, but when I apply for PEUC or EB20 after some decision is made at the White House, will I be able to apply as a continuation of my current unemployment insurance instead of having to start all over again?

Also, on what screen can I see the Benefit Year End that is often mentioned?

（ Urgent ） EB20 Application]

According to the team responsible and a few people who stayed up all night to read this edition of The Second Stimulus Package, the following is the following information. This is urgent information sharing, so please make sure to read it if you are on the fence about applying for EB20.

① Applicants who have already exhausted their PEUC account balance will not be able to retroactively apply for a PEUC 11-week extension, if one is granted.

② If a PEUC 11-week extension is granted, applicants who still have PEUC account balance at that time may be entitled to apply for the extension retroactively.

Also, according to the responsible team, the UI office's official announcement （ #565 ） regarding the confusing EB20 application selection option #565 is that "Since the PEUC program ends with the November 26th closing payment, the PEUC This is probably an official announcement for applicants who still have account balances".

For your information, the message from the responsible team is transcribed below.
↓
From what I read in the stimulus proposal, the PEUC is not retroactive to where the claimant left off after exhausting. As far as those that As far as those that still had PEUC benefits left at the time of expiration of the program, that may be retroactive.
