I live in NYC, and filed for NY unemployment benefits in March, and was accepted. It says I have 16 "Effective Days Remaining." From what I understand, in NY there are 4 effective days each week, so that should last until roughly 4 more weeks.
So my question is, is that it? It just ends? Any chance of an extension during the pandemic? Would it be automatic or would I have to do anything? Thanks in advance everyone.

Will it reset once it hits zero?

The site saying I have 16 "Effective Days Remaining" is confusing.
