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 EB Program for Alaska.

Summary

    The following change has occurred since the publication of the last 
notice regarding the State's EB status:
     March 6, 2005. Alaska triggered ``on'' EB. Alaska's 13-
week insured unemployment rate for the week ending February 19, 2005, 
rose above the 6.0 percent threshold necessary to be triggered ``on'' 
to EB effective for the week beginning March 6, 2005.

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 the 
nearest State Workforce Agency.

    Signed at Washington, DC, on April 22, 2005.
Emily Stover DeRocco,
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment and Training.
