Unemployment extension links: Central region

In the Central region, five of eleven states do not provide information about how the unemployment extension is being administered. Five do:

• Colorado
• Montana
• New Mexico (then click Extended Unemployment Compensation 2008)
• Utah
• Wyoming

For those states that do not provide guidance, I've linked to their general unemployment information sites:

• Arkansas
• Louisiana
• North Dakota
• South Dakota
• Texas

Oklahoma has posted this statement on their unemployment website:

If you have received a notice about Emergency Unemployment Compensation, the claims for the extension can not currently be filed via the Internet. You will need to contact the Service Center at the number listed on the form you received.

This gets us through 32 (plus DC) state links on unemployment administration. Click on your state to go directly to guidance or information about who is eligible for extended benefits and how to access them. If your state isn't listed here, click for Region I (New England), Region II (Mid-Atlantic) or Region III (Southeast).

Next up, Region V (Upper Midwest), followed by Region VI (Western).

Colorado does have a section on its website devoted to Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) claims.

Thanks for the link, jobseeker.

I wish to personally thank those of you who are responsible for supplying the above information. I am in Oklahoma and have exhausted my emergency benefits las month. In light of the stimulus package, I am hopeful of more to follow. Since I am unemployed and able to work although I am a seventy-seven year old, I still have "high hopes."

Again, thank you.
