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

    This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under 
the EB Program for Louisiana.
    Summary: The following change has occurred since the publication of 
the last notice regarding the State's EB status:
     Louisiana's 13-week insured unemployment rate for the week 
ending February 4, 2006, fell below the 5.0 percent threshold causing 
Louisiana's EB period that began October 30, 2005, to trigger ``off'' 
effective February 25, 2006.

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 March 3, 2006.
Emily Stover DeRocco,
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment and Training.
