If you are reopening your claim within one year of initially applying then you can only use what’s left on that benefit year. Unfortunately, there are no generic extension programs for the kind of situation you described. If you haven’t yet exceeded 20 payable weeks of benefits you could try for the Training Opportunities Program (TOP) which comes with extended benefits, but you need to commit to a re-training program for a new career.
