DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Notice of a Change in Status of the Extended Benefit (EB) Program
for New Mexico
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> The beginning date for New Mexico's High Unemployment
Period (HUP) was July 4, 2021, and statutorily once a state begins a
HUP it must remain ``on'' for 13-weeks. During the mandatory 13-week
``on'' period, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released data which
showed the seasonally-adjusted total unemployment rate for New Mexico
falling below the 8.0 percent threshold necessary to remain ``on'' a
HUP in EB. As such, the HUP for New Mexico will end on October 2, 2021
and beginning October 3, 2021, the maximum potential entitlement for
claimants in EB in New Mexico 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.
