DOL's Region III covers eight states in the Southeast. Of these, five provide specific guidance on how the unemployment benefits extension is being administered:
The other three provide very little. Mississippi (on a page with perhaps the longest URL in modern history) describes what a benefits extension is, then links to a DOL page for more info. South Carolina offers no guidance, so I've linked to their general unemployment page. Tennessee offers this statement:
This is number 3 in a 6-post series, providing state-by-state links for workers to information about how the unemployment benefits extension is being administered. I hope these links are helpful for readers having trouble understanding how to access their benefits.

I just read the letter forthe extension unemployment for Virginia and it is very confusing to me. My second extension ended Dec 9th 2009 and my year ends December 26 2009. does that mean I can still be eligible for the extra extension even though my old year ended in 2009? Do I have to file before the end of December?? Of course, Virginia has an outdated coputer system and states it will take up to 8 weeks to get it straight; however I don't want to not sign up and be left out when they finally get their stuff together. Any suggestions VIRGINIA UNEMPLOYED???? tHX bRENDA mASHTARE
