DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Notice of a Change in Status of the Extended Benefit (EB) Program
for Arizona and Nebraska
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This notice announces a change in benefit payment status under the
EB program for Arizona and Nebraska.
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 Arizona and
Nebraska, for the week ending May 30, 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 June 14, 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.
