CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Thousands of jobless New Hampshire workers whose unemployment benefits are exhausted or will be by the end of the year qualify for additional weeks of benefits under a new federal law.
State officials will be mailing letters to people who may qualify for the extra weeks of unemployment. Officials are urging people who think they may qualify to apply. Since it is a new program, unemployed workers will have to fill out a blue application form at their nearest Employment Security office.
