DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Notice of a Change in Status of the Extended Benefit (EB) Program
for Ohio
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This notice announces a retroactive change in benefit period
eligibility under the EB program for Ohio. The following changes have
occurred since the publication of the last notice regarding the State's
EB status:
Based on Ohio's State law, which provides for the temporary
adoption of the optional TUR trigger during periods of 100 percent
Federal financing, and data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
on May 22, 2020, the seasonally-adjusted total unemployment rate for
Ohio rose to meet the 8.0 percent threshold to trigger ``on'' to a high
unemployment period in EB. The payable period for Ohio under the high
unemployment period is retroactive to June 7, 2020, and eligibility for
claimants has been extended from up to 13 weeks of potential duration
to up to 20 weeks of potential duration in the EB program.
The trigger notice covering state eligibility for the EB program
can be found at: http://ows.doleta.gov/unemploy/claims_arch.as.
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
[[Page 40321]]
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.
