Notice of a Change in Status of the Extended Benefit (EB) Program 
for Nevada

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    This notice announces a change in benefit payment status under the 
EB program for Nevada.
    The following change has occurred since the publication of the last 
notice regarding Nevada's EB status:

    Nevada's 13-week insured unemployment rate (IUR) for the week 
ending April 18, 2020 was 5.8 percent, which exceeds 120 percent of 
the corresponding rate in the prior two years. This IUR caused 
Nevada to be triggered ``on'' to an EB period that began May 3, 
2020. The State will remain in an EB period for a minimum of 13 
weeks.

    The trigger notice covering state eligibility for the EB program 
can be found at: http://oui.doleta.gov/unemploy/claims_arch.asp.

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.
