Extention of UI Benefits? (extension, apply, payment, state)

[ReturningWest]

I saw a blurb on the news channel about the Shrub extending UI Benefits but I've been unable to find anything else about it.

Anyone have a link on the details?

I'm currently unemployed and I'll run out of my benefits next week and when I log on it has said for the last 5 months that Prez Shrub has extended benefits and I might be elegible...is this it or is it an addition?

This is actually the second extension. You should be getting a notice from your state unemployment agency about applying for an extension when you get close to running out of benefits. My husband had to wait to apply until after the regular benefits ran out. I think it was the next day, there was no gap in payments.
