Can I apply for federal u/i when the state of wa. runs out?

Question

Tier 3 was eliminated in Washington state. Can I apply for federal unemployment? I am still looking for work, but my last week of tier 2 ends next week. Thankyou for your help.

Answer 1

The extensions  / tiers are federal.  Check the website for your state unemployment and see what alternatives are suggested.  They may be able to put together a state claim if there is a balance from an old claim.  It is worth asking about.
