TWC announces unemployment benefit extention
San Antonio Business Journal
Unemployment Insurance benefits have been extended for seven weeks, the Texas Workforce Commission has announced. President Bush recently signed legislation providing up to seven weeks of emergency unemployment benefits to workers who have exhausted their benefits and are still unemployed. The extended benefits are federally funded and employers will not be charged for any claims paid on this extension, the TWC says.
The TWC is sending a letter to all claimants who have exhausted their benefits from the first extenstion with written instructions on how and when to make claims on this extension. The TWC is asking claimants to mail their responses in the pre-paid envelopes provided with the letter. Eligible claimants may update their address information online through paymentrequest.texasworkforce.org or by contacting a UI Tele-Center. In San Antonio the number is 210-258-6600.
The Texas Workforce Commission is a state agency dedicated to helping Texas employers, workers and communities prosper economically. For more information visit www.texasworkforce.org.
