That round of benefit payments are expected to be mailed in December . Tennessee Labor Commissioner James Neeley said, "This project has been given the highest priority, and the department’s Information Technology division has worked nights, weekends and holidays to do the extensive programming required of our systems to extend these benefits.
"Those who have already exhausted their benefits should look for instructions in the mail this week with the status of their claim," Neeley said.
A state press release said, "The online application will be necessary for claimants who have exhausted all prior benefits. Additionally, those who exhausted benefits prior to the Feb. 27, 2009, deadline for State Extended Benefits may also be eligible and are encouraged to apply.
Tennesseans who exhaust their State Extended Benefits (EB09) after Dec. 17, will automatically transition into the new program without having to reapply.
"During this slow economic period, we have seen an unprecedented number of Tennesseans staying on unemployment until they exhaust their benefits. This will give those who are still looking for work more time to cover their expenses through the holidays and into 2010," Neeley said.
The release continued, "This federally funded extension is the fourth announcement of benefits beyond the initial 26 weeks of unemployment compensation provided by the state. While the intent of the bill was to add 20 weeks of payments, an oversight in the way the federal law was structured prevented individuals from receiving the maximum weeks of entitlement.
"Depending on an individual’s initial claim eligibility, wage history and subsequent employment status, the maximum entitlement for the latest extension of unemployment benefits is 14 weeks.
The Department of Labor and Workforce Development has posted details of the extension with an extensive list of frequently asked questions at it Web site, www.tn.gov/labor-wfd.
For Tennesseans without Internet access, Tennessee Career Centers throughout the state are available at no charge. To find a Career Center in your area please go to www.tn.gov/labor-wfd/cc/cccounty.htm or call 1-800-576-3467
