... used up their previous extension, as represented via a prerecorded message by the Texas Unemployment office, the text of which states: "The President has signed an extension of temporary unem- ployment compensation [skip part applying to those not yet finished with their last extension] ... If you have already ex- hausted your extended benefits, no further extended benefits are available."

In other words, there is no 2nd extension for anyone. The fact that the bill was publicized as a 2nd extension was confusing, as many whose 1st extension had run out were under the impression they qualified for a 2nd extension. Excerpt from a recent news article on the topic: "... The bill had overwhelming bipartisan support but Senate Democrats held it up for two hours, complaining that it left out workers who have exhausted all of the 39 weeks of jobless aid they received under both state and federal programs. "Simply by passing this resolution we are leaving over 1 million people who have absolutely no recourse because their benefits have expired," said Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota. The extension covers only those workers who have exhausted 26 weeks of state aid but who still had not used all of their 13 weeks of federal aid when the program expired Dec. 28. Also covered will be another 2.5 million workers expected to exhaust their state benefits (26 weeks) between now and June 1. ..." > as represented via a > prerecorded message by the Texas Unemployment office, > the text of which states: > > "The President has signed an extension of temporary unem- > ployment compensation [skip part applying to those not yet > finished with their last extension] ...
