Out-of-work Alabama residents whose unemployment benefits may have run out - can file for an extension.

Alabama Department of Industrial Relations Director Tom Surtees made the announcement - in light of Congress recently passing a bill to re-instate those unemployment compensation benefit extensions.

Surtees says claims would be paid retroactive to June 5th.

State officials estimate some 37,000 Alabama residents may be eligible for an extension.

To certify eligibility for claims - people can call 1-800-752-7389.
