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

SUMMARY: This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility 
under the EB Program for Alaska. The following change has occurred 
since the publication of the last notice regarding the State's EB 
status:
     March 4, 2001. Alaska triggered ``on'' EB. Alaska's 13-
week insured unemployed rate for the week ending February 17, 2001, 
rose above the 6.0 percent threshold necessary to be triggered ``on'' 
to EB effective for the week beginning March 4, 2001.

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 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 March 30, 2001.
Raymond Uhalde,
Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment and Training.
