Anyone collecting Federal Extended MA Unemployment Benefits

[momoftwins]

I have a question regarding requirements for getting these benefits under the Federal Extension.

I am coming up on the last of my 20 weeks of MA state benefits. I think the next step is to apply for the Federal extension (I think this is right).

Can you share the requirements for the Federal Extension? Is the $ amount you receive the same as what you received under state benefits?

Thanks.

I don't know about MA. But in Maryland you get a letter with instruction to continue to get money under the extension. The amount should be the same until the end of December, when the Federal unemployment "stimulus" expires and you lose the additional $25 per week.
