Notice of a Change in Status of the Extended Benefit (EB) Program
for Washington DC, Delaware, Idaho, and South Carolina
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces a change in benefit payment status under
the EB program for Washington DC, Delaware, Idaho, and South Carolina.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: U.S. Department of Labor, Employment
and Training Administration, Office of Unemployment Insurance Room S-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following change has occurred since the
publication of the last notice regarding each States' EB status:
The 13-week insured unemployment rates (IUR) for Washington DC,
Delaware, Idaho, and South Carolina, for the week ending May 9,
2020, rose above 5.0 percent and exceeded 120 percent of the
corresponding average rates in the two prior years. Therefore,
beginning the week of May 24, 2020, eligible unemployed workers will
be able to collect up to an additional 13 weeks of UI benefits.
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.
Signed in Washington, DC.
John Pallasch,
Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training.
