Is there anything after 26 weeks of unemployment?

Question

Can one file for an extension with unemployment after the 26 weeks ends? What does a family do if the one unemployed has not landed a new position? Do you need special qualifications to file for an extension or other benefits?

Answer 1

You will not find the correct info here. Contact your State Human

Resource Department and make an appointment, you will get your answer. In the mean time look for work, you may have to take a lesser paying job to tie you over. Good Luck.

Answer 2

After 26 weeks comes depression.  :(

I don't think you can get an extension (I can't find anything about an extension on the interenet), but if you have proof of a continueing job serch, you may be able to get one.  Just expect it to take much longer than it should - such is the way of the government.

I know what it's like to feel unemployed and useless.  Best of luck to you!
