Extended unemployment benefits claims

The state of Kentucky is now prepared to accept claims for extended unemployment benefits.  The Extended Benefits Program provides up to 20 additional weeks of federally-funded unemployment insurance to workers who have exhausted their 26 weeks of benefits through the state, and the additional 33 weeks provided through the federal emergency extensions approved by Congress. 

Eligible claimants may file online at https://uiclaims.des.ky.gov/ebenefit, and should start receiving checks for extended benefits within three weeks.
