If you have 10 or more years of service and exhaust your normal sickness benefits, you may be eligible to receive extended benefits for up to 65 days (7 consecutive 14-day claim periods having 10 days payable in each). Also, if you are not qualified for benefits in the current benefit year, but received normal benefits in the previous year, you may still be eligible for extended benefits.
To qualify for extended benefits, you must not have voluntarily retired. Extended sickness benefits are not payable once you attain age 65.
