Unemployment Extension

There are three basic requirements of eligibility.

1.  You have earned sufficient income in the base period to qualify for a claim.

2.  You are determined to be out of work through no fault of your own.

3.  You meet all requirements of eligibility on a week to week basis as long as you are claiming benefits.

You will receive a monetary determination within 7 days after you file your initial claim. This will tell you the monetary amount of your claim (weekly and total potentially payable benefits).

If there is a question of eligibility relating to your claim, we must review the circumstances to determine if benefits may be paid to you.

Questions of eligibility arise from several situations:

1.  Separation from employment for reasons other than a layoff due to a lack of work;

2.  Payment of vacation pay, severance pay or payments made by the employer in lieu of a notice of impending layoff;

3.  Ability to work, availability for work or efforts to seek and secure work;

4.  Failing to report to a Nevada JobConnect office as directed to review your work search activities or to determine if you need reemployment assistance;

5.  Refusing work or failing to apply for a job as directed by a representative of the Nevada JobConnect office;

6.  Failing to file weekly claims for each week of unemployment;

7.  Failing to reply to a request for additional information or did not provide the information within the time period provided;

8.  Filing a claim for benefits based on employment for an educational institution or for a professional athletic team;

9.  Failing to report work and/or earnings for a week claimed for unemployment;

If there is a question of eligibility, you may receive a separate determination telling you if you are eligible based upon the reasons for the separation. If benefits are to be denied for ANY reason, you will be sent a written notice of our determination and providing you with instructions on how to file an appeal to that decision.

The fact finding and decision process normally take 3 weeks from the time you file your claim.  We make all efforts to resolve questions of eligibility as soon as possible to minimize the impact of the loss of income, or to provide you with a quick determination and opportunity to appeal if you are found to not meet all eligibility requirements.
