Upcoming Unemployment Insurance Benefit Expirations

Katelin P. Isaacs
Analyst in Income Security

Two key provisions related to extended federal unemployment benefits are temporary and, therefore, scheduled to expire.

The temporary 100% federal financing of the Extended Benefit (EB) program ends January 4, 2012.

Authorization for the temporary Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC08) program is scheduled to expire the week on or before January 3, 2012 (i.e., December 31, 2011, in all states except New York state, in which the program ends January 1, 2012).

This report describes the consequences of these expirations for the financing and availability of unemployment benefits in states.
