IWD Announces Extended Emergency
Unemployment Insurance Benefits
News Release
Emergency Unemployment
Compensation (EUC)
For Unemployment Insurance Claimants
Due to federal legislation, you may be eligible to receive an
additional 20 weeks plus additional benefits for tiers of
Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) under the
Supplemental Appropriation Act 2008, Title IV, Public Law
110-252, and subsequent amending legislation. EUC provides
extended unemployment insurance benefits to unemployed
individuals who have already collected all regular state
benefits or have expired benefit claims and meet the federal
eligibility guidelines. The program began on July 6, 2008
and expires on February 28, 2010, with a phase-out period
through July 31, 2010.
The fastest, most efficient
way to file for EUC benefits is online. The
Internet filing option is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week --
it's always open! Once you file a claim, Iowa Workforce Development will
contact you regarding your eligibility.
Note: Please indicate EUC in
the comments section when filing your claim.
