DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration


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 retroactive change in benefit period 
eligibility under the EB program for Nevada.
    The following change has occurred since the publication of the last 
notice regarding the State's EB status:
    Based on Nevada'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 
Nevada rose to meet the 8.0 percent threshold to trigger ``on'' to a 
high unemployment period in EB. The payable period for Nevada under the 
high unemployment period is retroactive to June 7, 2020, and 
eligibility for claimants has been extended from a potential duration 
of up to 13 weeks to a potential duration of up to 20 weeks 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 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.
