Law allows for additional benefits in certain "special nonagricultural unemployment situations," defined as a significant displacement of workers due to technological progress and/or the permanent disappearance of an industry, establishment or occupation. The law also allows provisions for special agricultural unemployment situations. The total number of weeks available to a claimant cannot exceed 20 times the claimant's regular weekly benefit amount in his/her last benefit year, plus 32 times the additional weekly benefit amount. If the claimant has received state-federal Extended Benefits, the amount collected is deducted from any additional benefits.
