WHAT HAPPENS IF / WHEN YOU EXHAUST STATE UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS | WHAT YOU MUST KNOW

Dr. Chhoda explores guidelines from the Department of Labor about your options if / when you exhaust traditional state unemployment insurance benefits, including the importance of ‘able, available and actively seeking work’.

QUESTION
I am about to exhaust my regular unemployment compensation benefits. What kinds of relief does the CARES Act provide for me?

ANSWER
Under the CARES Act states are permitted to extend unemployment benefits by up to 13 weeks under the new Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) program. PEUC benefits are available for weeks of unemployment beginning after your state implements the new program and ending with weeks of unemployment ending on or before December 31, 2020.

The program covers most individuals who have exhausted all rights to regular unemployment compensation under state or federal law and who are able to work, available for work, and actively seeking work as defined by state law. Importantly, the CARES Act gives states flexibility in determining whether you are “actively seeking work” if you are unable to search for work because of the pandemic, including because of illness, quarantine, or movement restrictions.

In addition, if you have exhausted the 13 weeks of additional benefits available under the PEUC program, you may be eligible to continue receiving benefits under the PUA program. PUA benefits are available for a period of unemployment of up to 39 weeks, meaning that if you have exhausted regular UC and PEUC benefits in fewer than 39 weeks, you may be eligible to receive assistance under PUA for the remaining weeks within PUA’s 39 week period.
