Will I still have Unemployment benefits after May 12, 2012?

The latest message from the California EDD says, "The US Department of Labor has determined that California no longer meets the threshold to file and pay Fed-Ed extension benefits for weeks of Unemployment after May 12, 2012. If you are currently collecting benefits on a Fed-Ed extension, you may be eligible for those benefits for weeks of Unemployment prior to May 12, 2012, but not for weeks of Unemployment that end after May 12, 2012.
