EUC Cut off question

Information about EUC:

From The PA Unemployment Website:

EUC is phasing out. The phase out of EUC is based on the date a claimant exhausts regular, state UC or their current tier of EUC, as follows:
If you exhaust your regular UC benefits no later than the week ending Feb. 25, 2012, you may be eligible for Tier 1 EUC.
If you exhaust Tier 1 or Tier 2 EUC benefits no later than the week ending March 3, 2012, you may be eligible for the next tier of EUC.
The last week that EUC may be paid is the week ending Aug. 18, 2012.
IMPORTANT: If you do not exhaust your current tier of EUC by the applicable date indicated above, you may continue to claim benefits for weeks that you are eligible until you exhaust your current tier. However, EUC may not be paid beyond the week ending Aug. 18, 2012.

I just claimed two weeks today. I have one week left which I will claim on 2/26 since that week is actually exausted before the 25th will I still transition to EUC even though I don't claim it until the 26th? I would think I would, but just want to make sure I am reading it correctly. Thanks!

It is based on your week ending date, so it appears you just make the cut-off for a tier of extended benefits. If nothing is done in Congress to extend EUC08, no further extensions are available after that week ending date. Also, regardless of where you are on any Federal tier, August 18 is the last week benefits are payable. Most state's extended benefits programs will also cut off.
