Similar situation here, UI benefits ran out by the time the second shutdown happened. Last payment received was 12/26 (I've been laid off since 12/5) but now my claim benefits are at $0 and it says I won't be able to claim again until late Feb. Some of my friends in the service industry have already received their extensions and have been getting paid, so it's been frustrating. I've had no answers or help as to why I'm still unable to certify for weeks. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
