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

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    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:
     Based on data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics 
on October 20, 2017, Alaska's 3-month average seasonally adjusted total 
unemployment rate was 7.1 percent which exceeds 110 percent of the 
corresponding rate in the second preceding year. This causes Alaska to 
be triggered ``on'' to an EB period beginning November 5, 2017. The 
State will remain in an EB period for a minimum of 13 weeks.

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.

and Training Administration, Office of Unemployment Insurance Room S-
