Thanks. Just in - Add one more to the "Thanks for applying, but..." category.
Extension Process -
You have to wait until your regular unemployment $ is all the way gone. Once the regular funds are gone, the state of OR snail mails you a letter. Website says not to call before this happens, but I've heard from friends you can call before you get the letter. Not sure on that detail. You call the phone #. Hold. Hold some more. Answer a few questions like "Have you worked in Canada recently?" You get added to the extensions immediately, at least for people who have a steady job history before now.
I got added immediately, without a break in my direct deposits. Just kept claiming as normal. Amount weekly is the same. Length of time for eligibility is 20 weeks instead of 26 this time. So I've got five months now on this first round of extension. Then I think it's 13 weeks after that.

I really hope I have a job by then.
