The cynic in me thinks that they purposely make the process to apply for extended benefits difficult so that most people will just throw their hands up in the air and quit. Or wind up doing what I probably did last month, fill out the forms incorrectly or click on the wrong section to submit.

Oh well. Even though the unemployment payments for those 13 weeks is half the money of what you were getting for the 26 weeks of unemployment (which was waaaaay less than what I was making when I was working) it still would have been nice to get those checks.
