This program, which automatically goes into effect during periods of high unemployment, provides claimants with an extension of their regular unemployment benefits. The beginning date, duration and ending date of this program are "triggered" by a specified unemployment rate during a specified period of time.
A permanent program that pays up to 13 weeks of extended benefits to workers in states with a 5 percent insured unemployment rate (several states have adopted the more effective 6.5 percent total unemployment rate trigger). The cost of the EB program is equally shared by the federal UI system and each stateâ€(tm)s UI system. Since this EB trigger is not very effective, Congress has passed emergency programs, most of them completely funded by the federal government, during the last two recessions. The 2002 program is called Temporary Extended Unemployed Compensation (TEUC).
Benefits which continue, or become payable, after the termination of coverage from a plan or insurance contract (for example, a hospitalization which continues after coverage would normally cease).
Additional weeks of benefits paid during periods of high unemployment as provided by the U.S. Congress.
Unemployment benefits paid past the syandard 20 or 26 weeks allowed by most states (must be authorized by federal legislation).
The supplemental program that pays extended compensation during periods of specified high unemployment in a state to individuals for weeks of unemployment after exhaustion of regular Unemployment Insurance benefits. One-half of EB (Extended Benefits) is funded by the state trust fund. (USDOL)
Unemployment benefits paid beyond the normal 20 or 26 weeks allowed by most states (authorized by federal legislation).
Some plans provide for extension of benefits to disabled persons for a set period of time beyond the termination of coverage under the plan. Benefits are provided only for the disabling condition and require continuous disability.
The supplemental program that pays extended compensation during periods of specified high unemployment to individuals for weeks of unemployment after (1) they draw the maximum potential entitlement to regular compensation within their benefit year or (2) after their benefit year ends while they are in continued unemployment status and have insufficient wage credits to establish a new claim provided, however, that the extended benefit period in the State began prior to the end of their benefit year. Extended benefits paid to claimants under State unemployment compensation law are jointly financed on a 50-50 basis by State and Federal funds; extended benefits paid to UCFE are totally financed by Federal funds.
Coverage that continues, or becomes payable, after the termination from a plan or insurance contract, such as a hospitalization that continues after coverage would normally cease.
