The Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 extends the expiration dates of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) and federal-state Extended Benefits (EB) unemployment insurance (UI) programs. The legislation extends the deadlines by which claimants can apply for EUC and EB benefits through March 6, 2012 but does not add any new weeks of benefits.
Unemployed workers who remain eligible for UI benefits must continue to file their continued claims or “sign weekly” for those benefits. Please check the DUA home page (www.mass.gov/dua) for further updates.
Please continue to utilize the state’s resources for job seekers. Visit JobQuest or stop by one of the state’s 34 One Stop Career Centers.
