Notice of a Change in Status of an Extended Benefit (EB) Period 
for Alaska

    This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under 
the EP Program for Alaska.

Summary

    The following change has occurred since the publication of the last 
notice regarding the State's EB status:
     February 9, 1997: Alaska triggered ``on'' EB. Alaska's 13-
week insured unemployment rate rose above the 6.0 percent threshold 
necessary to be triggered ``on'' to EB for the week ending January 25, 
1997.

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 
employment security agency will furnish a written notice of potential 
entitlement to each individual instructions issued to the States by the 
U.S. Department of Labor. In the case of a State beginning an EB 
period, the State employment security 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 the 
nearest State employment service office or unemployment compensation 
claims office in their locality.

    Signed at Washington, DC, on April 7, 1997.

Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment and Training.
