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:
     Alaska's 13-week insured unemployment rate for the week 
ending April 9, 2005, fell below the 6.0 percent threshold and was less 
than 120 percent of the average for the corresponding 13-week period 
for the prior two (2) years, causing Alaska's EB period that began 
March 6, 2005, to trigger ``off'' effective June 4, 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 ending an EB period, the State 
Workforce Agency will furnish a written notice to each individual who 
is currently filing a claim for EB of the forthcoming end of the EB 
period and its effect on the individual's rights to EB (20 CFR 
615.13(c)(4)).

    Signed at Washington, DC, on July 1, 2005.
Emily Stover DeRocco,
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment and Training.
