Texas Unemployment Extension

While Congress extended the time limits to establish a new EUC claim, it did not add extra weeks for claimants who have already exhausted all benefits. When you exhaust your current benefits, TWC (Texas Workforce will notify you if you are eligible for another program.

Make sure TWC has your current address. You can find more information about the benefit extensions below.
