If you exhausted your regular benefits you will get 33 weeks of EUC benefits.
If you exhausted your EUC benefits you will get 13 weeks of EB benefits.

Total benefits are:
Regular- 26 weeks
EUC08- 33 weeks
EB- 13 weeks (as of now) possible 7 more weeks (20) if Wisconsin changes states EB program law.
Total weeks 72 or 79 if EB law is changed

I am on my 25th week of of regular benefits, how many more total weeks of extended benefits could I receive

Answer 3

There is no gap between them and it is automatic just keep filing.

Answer 4

I just heard on TV yesterday that there is a possibility of 93 total weeks in WI if you meet all the conditions. I have been collecting for...63 weeks. But I know my "purse" runs out before the weeks do as you get less than 100% on the "tier system."

Answer 5

I have three weeks left of my origional 26 weeks. Will my euc benifits kick right in without a missing payment as long as I keep claiming? Will I get a letter in the mail stating my continued benifits?? As far as I can see I meet all qualifications for euc benifits but I cannot have any wait inbetween my final 26th ui check and my euc extension!! My family is already struggling bad!! I am looking into furthing my education I also am registered on monster.com and have been looking for work non stop theres just no work out there. I'm very worried!!!!! For my family more than anything else!!

My unemployment has been on hold for 3 weeks now since it ran out, now that Congress passed the bill last week I am waiting for my back pay to come through, does anyone have any idea when this will happen or has anyone gotten their money yet?

Answer 7

My boyfriends initial 26 weeks was up 2 weeks ago and Wisconsin said that he couldn't get any extension until congress passed the new one. They just passed a 6 week extension and by the time ge gets it only 3 weeks will be left. It seems to me that they screwed up somewhere and gave people too many extensions that have been on for 2 years and those that haven't received any extensions are getting screwed. So will we have to go through this in 3-4 weeks again? I'm a full-time student and I rely on the child support that comes from his unemployment. Doesn't seem fair that his uncle is on his fourth extension and they're messing with my boyfriend when he's asking for his first...
