The UIUC extension often referred to as the 300, expires on December 28.
The 300 unemployment extension, often referred to as the 300, is a temporary program for those who lost their job through no fault. The UIUC extension is only available to those who have yet to draw their maximum amount and are otherwise eligible for benefits under state or federal law.
Since unemployment benefits are based on wages earned, extended benefits are only available to those eligible for help when they lost their job and still need to draw down their maximum amount during those weeks.
You must be unemployed for at least 13 weeks and have earned at least $1,200 in wages during those 13 weeks before you lost your job.
If you meet all of these requirements, then the maximum amount of extended benefits will depend on what phase of unemployment you are in:
You will qualify for additional benefits after your 300 runs out.
You can apply for the additional benefits after your 300 runs out.
The federal government will pay you $300 per week if you have been unemployed for at least six months or one year if you have children under 18 years old.
