Does anyone know what's up with EB unemployment, now?

This is still the text at this link at the state website for unemployment benefits:


As of 3/25/2020: There are currently no extensions available. Federal legislation was passed on March 18, 2020 that provides up to 26 weeks of Extended Benefits to qualifying states. To qualify for extended benefits, a state would need to apply for the funds and demonstrate that its unemployment rates have increased by a certain percentage and that it also meets certain requirements regarding claimant access, notifications, and eligibility requirements. If Wisconsin qualifies, updates will be provided.


Does anyone have a good connection to a reliable spoke spokesperson from the Democratic Party, who could elaborate on the status of benefit extension?
