EXTENDED BENEFITS: Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) is a federally funded extension of unemployment benefits. The EUC program was created on June 30, 2008 by the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2008. It made up to 13 additional weeks of benefits available to unemployed individuals who had already collected all regular state benefits for which they were eligible and who meet the eligibility requirements. On November 21, 2008, former President Bush signed the Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2008. It made up to 7 additional weeks of benefits available to unemployed individuals who have or will collect all benefits available under the first EUC program, and created a second tier of 13 weeks of EUC for individuals in state where the unemployment rate has reached certain level. The second tier of EUC benefits is now available to eligible Wisconsin workers. We are continuing to work on making payments to eligible claimants. The benefits are payable starting with the week of January 25th. Please see website for additional information
