TAA INFORMATION
I was in a meeting with Greg Kountz, Monday, 11/29, Greg
made a few calls to find out where we were with the TAA
petition in the AL organization. He was told that the
TAA petition was filled out and sent back to DOL on
11/20/2009 so it is now a waiting game with DOL.
You can check to
see how the petition is progressing at:

Filing Information for New
Federal Unemployment Extension
The new federal unemployment benefits extension
launch is proceeding well. Due to high volumes,
this is a multi-day process. For those who
haven’t filed a new claim or voucher yet, please
continue checking the UPLINK claimant homepage
(under “smartlinks”) for the link to “Reactivate
my EEUC Claim” and/or the “weekly voucher”
link(s). All extended benefits claims and
vouchers should be available to be filed within
the next 48 hours.
*As a reminder, after the new extended claim is
opened, a weekly voucher must also be
filed. The weekly voucher will be posted on the
account after the new extended claim is
opened. For those who are reopening claims, the
weekly voucher will be posted the day after
they reopen their claim
