I receive benefits in the state of Michigan. I was granted 26 weeks and then got a 20 week extension. Does anyone know if they will grant me another extension or am I done when this 20 week period runs out.

MI, as all states, gives you 26 weeks of UI benefits. (Actually, you get a year, but if you claim the maximum amount weekly, it's only good for 26 weeks. It will last up to a year if you get a part-time job and only claim half your weekly benefits.) Anything after that is Federal.

Following is the schedule of payments for most people (remember, if you had part-time work during your regular OR Federal UI claims, the time frames may be extended):

Regular state funded UI: 26 weeks

Tier I: 20 weeks

Tier II: 14 weeks

Tier III: 13 weeks

Tier IV: 6 weeks

However, currently, they only expect these benefits to be available through December 31, 2010. You'll need to get a calendar to find out how long you'll be able to claim.
