IWD
Announces
a Deadline Extension for Emergency Unemployment Insurance
Benefits
Posted 26 July 2010
Director Elisabeth
Buck announced that Iowa Workforce Development (IWD) will begin
immediate work to reactivate approximately 16,000 Iowans who may now be
eligible for additional weeks of Emergency Unemployment Compensation
(EUC) benefits now that Congress has passed a deadline extension.
“Iowans have continued to struggle with the affects of the national
recession,” stated Director Elisabeth Buck. “By extending the deadline
for receiving EUC benefits to November 30th, Iowans will have the
economic safety net in place while they seek new employment
opportunities.”
Eligible claimants who have stopped receiving benefits since June 2nd
will receive written notification for reactivating their claims.
Initial payments for individuals who continued with their weekly
reporting will begin seeing benefits paid on approximately July 29th
and 30th. Claimants needing to add past weeks will be able to do so via
the toll-free system at 800-850-5627 or online at https://uiclaims.iwd.iowa.gov/weeklyclaims/
beginning Tuesday, July 27th. If a claimant is unable to report weeks
via the 800 number or online system, staff at one of the 55 field
offices across the state will provide assistance.
The Worker Assistance Act of 2009 provides the framework for the
emergency unemployment benefits. The program is designed to lessen the
effects of unemployment during difficult economic times. In all, Iowans
are eligible for up to 47 weeks of additional benefits once their
initial weeks are exhausted. Emergency benefits are paid by the federal
government and do not effect Iowa’s Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund
solvency.
At this time, the federal Emergency Unemployment Benefits program is
set to expire on November 30, 2010. In order to receive additional
benefits, an individual must have exhausted their regular benefits or
first two tiers of benefits prior to November 30th.
Iowa Workforce Development has developed a comprehensive program to
assist unemployed workers. The program includes a wide variety of
assistance designed to get Iowans back to work. This comprehensive
services package includes retraining assistance, help with identifying
new employment opportunities, resume writing and interview skills, job
placement assistance, and connections to additional services such as
health insurance for children and other human services needs.
