The Oklahoma Employment Security Commission (OESC) today announced a new unemployment benefit extension for eligible Oklahomans who exhaust their federal extended unemployment compensation (EUC) claims. This new extension of up to 13 weeks of additional unemployment benefits was authorized in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and will be paid for by federal funds. OESC estimates that as many as 9,300 Oklahomans will be immediately affected by this extension.
