My benefit money will run out by April 15th and my
claim expires September 15. Can I receive benefits
even though the money has run out?
You may be eligible for a federal extension of your unemployment benefits. I believe the new stimulus package made it possible for a person to collect up to 59 weeks including the 26 weeks available from a state. I do not know what the requirements are, but you can find out here. The extended benefits are paid for by the federal government not California.
