About 1,500 people in Utah, who have been unemployed may receive cuts in the extended benefits. According to Bill Starks, the unemployment insurance director for the Utah Department of Workforce Services, said his agency once again is sending out letters to the impacted individuals. The letters encourage those still eligible to receive extended federal aid to continue filing claims now, even if no money is available. By doing so, claimants will be entitled to receive payments retroactively to June 2 — provided Congress approves another extension, as it is expected to do.

Mr. Starks said that until that time, jobless workers who exhausted their 26 weeks of state benefit coverage after May 29 will not qualify for emergency unemployment benefits. Similarly, people whose stays on the unemployment rolls have made them eligible for the first two tiers of the extended benefits program will be cut off within a couple of days.

The unemployed in Utah were paid about $130 million in extended benefits in the first quarter of this year.
