DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Notice of a Change in Status of the Extended Benefit (EB) Program
for California, Nevada, and New York
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This notice announces changes in benefit period eligibility under
the EB program that have occurred since the publication of the last
notice regarding the States' EB status:
<bullet> Based on the data released by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics on July 16, 2021, the seasonally-adjusted total unemployment
rate for California, Nevada, and New York fell below the 8.0 percent
threshold necessary to remain ``on'' a High Unemployment Period in EB.
As such, beginning August 8, 2021, the maximum potential entitlement
for claimants in EB in these states will decrease from 20 weeks to 13
weeks.
The trigger notice covering state eligibility for the EB program
can be found at: <a href="http://ows.doleta.gov/unemploy/claims_arch.as">http://ows.doleta.gov/unemploy/claims_arch.as</a>.
Information for Claimants
The duration of benefits payable in the EB program, and the terms
and conditions on which they are payable, are governed by the Federal-
State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970, as amended, and
the operating instructions issued to the states by the U.S. Department
of Labor. In the case of a state beginning an EB period, the State
Workforce Agency will furnish a written notice of potential entitlement
to each individual who has exhausted all rights to regular benefits and
is potentially eligible for EB (20 CFR 615.13(c)(1)).
Persons who believe they may be entitled to EB, or who wish to
inquire about their rights under the program, should contact their
State Workforce Agency.

and Training Administration, Office of Unemployment Insurance, Room S-
