DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Notice of a Change in Status of the Extended Benefit (EB) Program
for California, Connecticut, Illinois, Nevada, and Texas
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under
the EB program that has 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 August 20, 2021, the seasonally-adjusted Total
Unemployment Rate (TUR) for Connecticut fell below the 8.0 percent
threshold necessary to remain ``on'' a High Unemployment Period in EB.
Therefore beginning September 11, 2021, the maximum potential
entitlement for claimants on EB in Connecticut will decrease from 20
weeks to 13 weeks. Also, the seasonally-adjusted TUR for Texas fell
below the 6.5 percent threshold necessary to remain ``on'' EB, thus the
EB payable period for Texas will end on September 11, 2021.
<bullet> In addition, language in state laws which conditioned the
applicability of the TUR trigger on full Federal funding resulted in
``off'' indicators for California, Illinois, and Nevada for the week
ending August 21, 2021. This will end any payable period associated
with the TUR trigger for these states on September 11, 2021.
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.
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.
