Latest! EB comes to an end! All states have lost EB.

Each State's eligibility for the Federal EB and EUC programs is updated every Friday by the US Department of Labor.

Extended Benefits (EB) is an unemployment extension paid for by both state and federal funds.  EB provides 13 weeks or one half of your regular claim’s maximum benefit amount, which ever is less. EB is precluded by any EUC benefit eligibility.  In other words, EB cannot be paid until you exhaust all regular and EUC benefits. EB is a claim of last resort.

Extended Benefits were not available in any state during the week ending March 31.

EUC pays for additional  weeks of benefits beyond the state maximum. President Obama signed into law November 8, 2009, Tiers 3 and 4 of additional weeks, 14 and 6  weeks respectively.  

Congress approved funding for EUC as part of the so called "Deficit Reduction Bill" Wednesday. Details forthcoming. The table below is out of date as of 1/3/2013. The table will be updated as soon as DOL updates eligibilty.

All states are eligible for up to 20 weeks of First Tier benefits. 

As of April 28, 2013:

  • 37 states are eligible for Tier 2 benefits,
  • 28 states are eligible for Tier 3 benefits,
  • and 9 states are eligible for Tier 4 benefits. 

As of April 28, 2013, maximum potential durations in the EUC 2008 program are:

  • 14 weeks in Tier 1,
  • 14 weeks in Tier 2,
  • 9 weeks in Tier 3,
  • and 10 weeks in Tier 4.

The eligibility of each state for Tier 3 and 4 Emergency EUC is tabulated below.

Minimum Wage

Workers in BMW's auto plants in Germany make twice as much as US workers in BMW plants who make $15 an hour. Oh and by the way German workers get 35 days of vacation AND decent healthcare.

And why does Germany's Manufacturers do so well?

Advertising disclaimer of sorts: NoJobSurvivor has received unsolicited anti-jobless, pro-corporation, right-wing propaganda advertisements in the rotating Google ad feed. Sorry for these offensive eyesores. We don't like them and wish they would never show up. Feel free to tell us the URL so we can block it. Thanks.course
