How long can you receive additional unemployment benefits in Ohio?

My regular benefits are about to run out. Can I apply for additional benefits once my regular benefits run out? Does my previous employer have to approve this as well? How long can I receive the additional benefits?

1. Ohio is the state with the 37th highest unemployment rate as of December 2008 it was 7.8% likley higher now. Thus Ohio is probably one of the states that do extend unemployment benefits behond the usual 13 weeks.
