UI Benefit Claims - Extended Benefits
During periods of high unemployment in Arizona, state law provides for the payment of up to 13 weeks of additional benefits. To qualify for this extension of benefits, a worker must have exhausted the total amount payable in his/her regular award and must meet special work search and other eligibility requirements. Experience-rated and nonprofit reimbursement employers will be charged for 50% of any extended benefits paid. Governmental employers are required to reimburse the department for the total amount of extended benefits paid.
