Extended Unemployment Insurance Benefits in Illinois

Chicago (02/05) - Under a new federal law that took effect on November 21, 2008, up to 33 weeks’ worth of emergency unemployment compensation (EUC) benefits are available for eligible individuals. Previously, individuals could only receive up to 13 weeks’ worth of EUC benefits.

How do I file for the Extension? When your regular benefits run out, an extended benefits claim (EUC 08) will automatically be established in most cases. Once this claim is established, you will receive a "findings" letter indicating your eligibility for the extension. In some situations where your benefit year is ending, you will receive a notice to report to your local office to determine your entitlement to Extended Benefits.

I don't understand this recent release on the Federal Emergency Unemployment Extension (EUC08):
http://www.ides.state.il.us/pdf/UI/eb/EUC_FAQ.pdf

Does this mean that even if your benefit is exhausted and you qualify for a Federal Extension, you won't see any relief money until end of July?
Say someone has a mortgage, etc, and runs out of unemployment today or expired earlier, are they basically left on their own until then?
