Apr 16, 2013
Background
The American Taxpayer Relief Act, passed on January 1, 2013, included a one-year extension of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC). Depending on a state’s unemployment rate, EUC now provides up to 47 weeks of federally-funded extended unemployment benefits. The program is now scheduled to expire on December 28, 2013.
