EUC Extension

Program Name:
Extension of Emergency Unemployment Compensation Program (EUC)

Explanation:
The Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program, created in June 2008 and expanded in November 2008, provides up to 20 weeks of benefits to eligible jobless workers in all states and up to 13 additional weeks of benefits in states with high unemployment. It was set to expire on March 31, 2009. The Recovery Act extended the date for new EUC claims to December 31, 2009, with payments on those claims ending on May 31, 2010.

All states (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands) are paying EUC.
