Extended Benefits

When the rate of insured unemployment in Missouri equals or exceeds levels specified in the law, an eligible claimant may be paid extended benefits. The maximum amount of extended benefits payable to an eligible individual is the lesser of 50% of the amount of regular benefits or 13 times the weekly benefit amount which was payable to the claimant in the benefit year. The cost is financed by Missouri employers and the federal government.
