A federal bill was signed in December extending unemployment benefits.
Eligibility requires being out of a job; state unemployment rates and the duration of an individual’s unemployment.
To collect benefits for the maximum period of 99 weeks, the average state’s unemployment rate must be above 8.5% for three months. *
The new law restores the 99-week maximum for states which do meet the rate requirement but does not provide further benefits to individuals who previously reached the limit of their unemployment benefits
