Federal legislation extending the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program through November 30, 2010 does not contain any extension of the COBRA subsidy for involuntarily terminated employees.

According to the State Dept. of Labor and Industrial Relations, unemployed workers in Hawaii who exhausted their regular unemployment insurance benefits after May 22, 2010 through July 17, 2010 can retroactively file new EUC claims. Individuals who did not exhaust all 47 weeks of EUC benefits may be eligible for more federal benefits if still unemployed. However, the new law does not increase the current maximum 47 weeks of EUC benefits.
