When Does The 4th Unemployment Extension Start Paying Benefit's?

According to the California EDD website, it will be "weeks" before they can start processing the extended UI that was finally passed.   Here is the link    www.edd.ca.gov this bill had to be passed at some point and it has been debated for a month, one could ask why is the State of California caught with it's pants down.   After weeks of waiting for the Congress to get it's act together, now we have to wait weeks for the State to get it's act together.

This is why government is not a profit making business, the managers would run it in to bankruptcy!!!

Have you exhausted your benefits? Are you eligible for the additional 20 weeks of unemployment insurance made possible through the extension passed by Congress and signed by President Obama? The Department is working with federal authorities to make that determination. Notification letters to claimants could arrive next week. Additional benefit payments will start the week of November 23. Please check this site for continued updates.

I just exhausted my tier 3 benefits, I received a letter back in january dated 12-30-2010 stating that I was eligible for EB, last week I have exhausted my funds so I am waiting on the fourth extension, unless I find work. I called today and was told to keep filing because the government hasn't released the funds and it could take 3 to 4 weeks and they would back pay me.....so as of now I'm waiting also, by the way I live in NC.

Great question....call your state's unemployment office as it varied by state.
