Like everyone else who has read this, I'm confused. You were wrongfully terminated...a year ago. You filed for benefits and were approved? You have now passed a year since you originally filed your claim, right? You said you'd been terminated for "over a year." At the end of one year from the date filed, your unemployment claim becomes null and void. You must refile. Even if you are still on an extension, regardless of circumstances, you must refile.
Even if you have enough wages left in quarters still in the base period to set up a new claim, you must also have what is called "re-earnings" usually of five times the weekly benefit amount that you have made since the original claim was filed. If you don't have that, the claim will sit there for one year. If at any time during the year you work for a covered employer and make at least five times the weekly amount and are laid off again for circumstances beyond your control, you can begin drawing this claim.
If you do not have the re-earnings to draw a new claim, you will be able to continue the extension you are currently on until about the end of February, when all federal extensions are scheduled to end.
Otherwise, there's nothing you can draw. Just because you were terminated unjustly and originally approved for unemployment does not mean you will get to keep drawing until you find another job. Just as long as you are eligible according to the state and federal laws. Then it stops, flat, regardless of your circumstances and needs.
No one can really help you with this except the unemployment system in your own state. File again tomorrow.
