The following is from the MN UI website explaining the Extended Benefits program is expected to end in MN if there is no further action from Congress.

This small cut and paste below is only to make you aware, so that you will go the MN UI website and read all of the pertinent information there. 

Federal benefit programs ending in December

Unless Congress passes legislation to extend these benefit programs, three programs are set to end in December 2020:

• The Federal-State Extended Benefits (EB) Program 
• The Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) Program 
• The Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) Program

Last payable week

•  Extended Benefits (EB)

  

  • Unless Congress takes action, we expect that the last payable week of Extended Benefits will be the week ending December 19, 2020. 
  • This week of benefits will be requestable on or after December 20, 2020.

•  Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC)

  • Unless Congress takes action, the last payable week of Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation will be the week ending December 26, 2020
  • This week of benefits will be requestable on or after December 27, 2020.
    
    
    
     

In each of the past several recessions, Congress has acted to add 13 weeks of Extended Benefits at a time, often several times over.
