Unemployment benefit apps accepted

Job Service North Dakota says it has begun accepting applications for the latest extension of unemployment benefits.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Job Service North Dakota says it has begun accepting applications for the latest extension of unemployment benefits.

The federal government earlier this month approved the extension for almost 2 million people out of work nearly a year or more.

The measure extends benefits for up to 14 weeks for those who have exhausted their federal aid or will do so by the end of the year.

Job Service North Dakota says it will be contacting people who might be eligible by mail.
