How does EUC entitlement affect the payment of basic TRA?
Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) #17: How does EUC entitlement affect the payment of basic TRA?: During the first benefit period following a TRA qualifying separation, a claimant is potentially entitled to 52 weeks of basic TRA minus regular, additional and extended compensation (including federally financed extensions). Therefore, entitlement to EUC will reduce the basic TRA entitlement. In many cases, the application of this requirement will result in an individual receiving 26 weeks of UI, 13 weeks of TEUC, followed by 13 weeks of basic TRA for a total of 52 weeks of benefits. Note: The TRA balance will be reduced by EUC paid only if the claim the EUC benefits were paid from is the UI claim that the TRA claim was based on.
