DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Notice of a Change in Status of an Extended Benefit (EB) Period
for Colorado
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility
under the EB program for Colorado.
The following change has occurred since the publication of the last
notice regarding Colorado's EB status:
Colorado has modified its law by adding a total
unemployment rate (TUR) trigger retroactive to March 22, 2009. As a
result, Colorado has retroactively triggered ``on'' to an extended
benefit period for weeks of unemployment beginning April 12, 2009, and
eligible unemployed workers will be able to collect up to an additional
13 weeks of unemployment insurance benefits.
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 their State Workforce Agency.
