Can you get extended unemployment benefits in Nevada?
Unemployed claimants who have exhausted their regular state Unemployment Insurance (UI) and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) Benefits may now be eligible for State Extended Benefits (SEB). Nevada’s 13-week average Insured Unemployment rate is currently 19.5% which by law activates a state and federal program to provide additional extended benefits to qualifying unemployed workers. While these benefits were originally triggered on May 3, with claimants beginning to exhaust PEUC benefits, the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation wants to remind claimants of this additional potential benefit eligibility. Claimants who have an established unemployment claim and have exhausted all regular state UI benefits and all federal PEUC benefits, could be eligible for State Extended Benefit (SEB). The following information is important SEB information.
Will all UI claimants be eligible for SEB?
Possibly, not all UI claimants will be eligible for SEB. You may be eligible if your UI benefit year ended after May 3, 2020; if you are currently not eligible for any other UI benefits; if you currently exhausted your Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC); and if you are able and available for work, with the exception where COVID-19 reasons have made it not possible to seek or accept work.
Can I get unemployment if I return to work?
Potentially. If you return to work and continue to file, you may be eligible for reduced unemployment benefits. You would need to report each week the total gross wages earned. If your earnings are equal to or more than your weekly benefit amount, you will not be eligible for that week of benefits.
