UNEMPLOY INS-EXTENDED BENEFIT

Amends the Unemployment Insurance Act. Sets forth alternate criteria for determining whether a "State 'on' indicator" or a "State 'off' indicator" exists for purposes of determining whether an extended benefit period is in effect. Changes criteria for determining the extended benefits to which an eligible exhaustee is entitled. Provides that the Governor may require, by Executive Order, that an individual who would otherwise be eligible for extended benefits exhaust all entitlement to benefits for which he or she is eligible under the federal Temporary Unemployment Compensation Act of 2002 or any similar federal law before receiving those extended benefits. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
