So, I went to the mailbox today and was so happy when I got my unemployment check. It's only $92 a week and a few months ago when the first set of benefits ran out, they went from the end of November to like March. When that ran out in Wisconsin we could file for an emergency extension and I have been getting my weekly checks like normal. The one that came today was only $45 though and it said I exhausted my benefits. It also said to keep filing a weekly claim until they would determine any eligibility for additional benefits, so that's what I did. Has this happened to anyone else and after you filed for the first extension did you keep filing claims and then get additional benefits for a while longer?

The government has been doing lots of extentions. I would do what they say and see what comes of it. I hope they are right. I have never had to deal with them.
