Colorado Extended Benefits
August 1st, 2009 Posted in Extended Unemployment Benefits
With Colorado unemployment at 7.6%, it’s only natural to be concerned. Especially if you’re one of the people collecting unemployment and your benefits are about to run down. The bright sky on the horizon is that the federal government can give you up to 13 additional weeks of Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC). This is available anytime a state reaches a total three-month average rate of unemployment that exceeds 6 percent. Colorado has met that requirement.
Governor Ritter signed Senate Bill 09-247 on June 2, 2009, with authorizes State Extended Benefits (SEB). Unemployment benefits are increased for up to 13 additional weeks when the average total unemployment rate reaches 6.5 percent. The benefits are increased for up to 20 additional weeks when the average total unemployment rate reaches 8 percent. In both cases, the total average unemployment rate is based on a three month period of time.
Before you can dip into SEB, you need to use your regular Colorado unemployment insurance as well as your Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) provided by federal programs. Unless you are told otherwise, you should just continue filing weekly claims.
To collect Colorado EUC, you need to file an online application. Go to the website www.coworkforce.com/uib to file. You can visit the site anytime at your convenience. You’ll want to be sure you have at least 30 minutes to dedicate to the online process.
In order to be eligible for EUC, you must not be eligible for a new unemployment insurance claim in the United States or Canada. You must be either unemployed or working a job at less than 32 hours a week. Another requirement is that you must be physically capable of working. You also need to be available for any work the moment a job is offered to you. Finally, you must be looking for work and you must document your job search activities.
You need to begin your application as soon as you can. The date you begin your application determines the date your claim for unemployment EUC starts. Whenever you are unemployed, you need to make every moment count. In between searching for jobs, don’t forget to apply for any Colorado unemployment benefits you can, including emergency employment compensation.

Can you clarify the total compensation provided by the Federal Government’s Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC), please?
This article states “… the federal government can give you up to 13 additional weeks of Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC)”
I had thought that the Bush administration had signed legislation to extend UIC benefits by 7 weeks, and that the current administration ADDED 13 weeks for a total EUC compensation of 20 weeks.
Could you please clarify whether the current Federal EUC extension si 13 or 20 weeks?
Regards,
Brad

Thanks Brad for Catching this. We need to update a bit.. From the Horses Mouth” Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) is a temporary program that was initiated in mid-2008. The program pays for an additional 20 weeks of benefits for workers in all states, and for workers in “high unemployment states,” pays an additional 13 weeks on top of this initial 20 weeks (bringing the total to 33 weeks for workers in these states). The 20 weeks of benefits that are available to all workers are known as “Tier I” benefits, while the additional 13 weeks available to workers in high unemployment states are known as “Tier II” benefits. A state moves (“triggers”) from Tier I EUC to Tier II EUC when the average unemployment rate over the past three months is 6.0 percent or higher. I will post the list of Tier I and tier II on another article or comment so that you can reference it.

Hello,
I’m currently on Tier I benefits for EUC. I am in Colorado and am being told that currently, in order to qualify for Tier II benefits, you have to have exhausted EUC benefits before Dec. 19, 2009. I will have exhausted them on Jan. 2, 2010. Does this mean that come Jan. 2, 2010, I will no longer have benefits or do you know if there will be an extension to the Dec. 19th deadline? Do you have any insite to this date extension?

Hi Gail,
I have spent the last 2 weeks working on a similar situation. The only difference is the particular dates that apply to my situation. I’m running out of tier 2 at the wrong time to meet the current guidelines to qualify for tier 3. I have talked to everyone I could think of not just the Emergency unemployment office for example. I also called Bobs office, Betsys office and on and on. The bottom line I received is: whatever you do keep on filing your cub line payment calls, and I was told that the legislature is trying to get these different dates changed to include more people, but they were very careful to make sure I understood there are no guarantees. If I learn more I will certainly let you know, otherwise all we can do is keep checking the Emergency Unemployment website I believe it’s http://www.coworkforce.comm.
Good luck,
Vaughn

Thanks for your great information, everyone should keep filing, the states are slow to set up the benefits, but this helps.
Also make sure your government knows how you feel — you are the voters… you deserve help more than AIG does
