Clarification on federal benefits with state benefits. When you exhaust your state benefits after 1 week of unemployment compensation, is the state supposed to make you wait the 13 weeks before federal benefits kick in? Additionally, if they pay right away, week 2, do you only get the 13 weeks of federal benefits instead of the 26 state and 13 federal weeks if you had more income to support 26 weeks of payments?

Are states supposed to be assessing penalty weeks for jobs you voluntarily quit but did not file unemployment on? For example a job you quit in 2018, but are assessed 13 weeks of nonpay penalties on your valid COVID qualifying claim.
