I still have an available balance and/or weeks on my PEUC or PUA claim. Why can’t I collect those benefits?

The duration of these federal benefits programs was determined by Congress, and the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) set the expiration date of September 6, 2021. Hawaii does not have the power to extend the benefits past the expiration date. ARPA provides the funding to pay out these benefits, so even if a claimant has an available balance, those federal funds will no longer be available.
