Notice of a Change in Status of an Extended Benefit (EB) Program 
for Arkansas

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under 
the EB program for Arkansas.
    The following change has occurred since the publication of the last 
notice regarding the Arkansas' EB status:
     Arkansas' 13-week insured unemployment rate (IUR) for the 
week ending September 26, 2020, was 4.99 percent, falling below the 
5.00 percent threshold necessary to remain ``on'' EB. Therefore, the EB 
period for Arkansas ended on October 17, 2020. The state

[[Page 71101]]

will remain in an ``off'' period for a minimum of 13 weeks.

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 state by the U.S. Department 
of Labor. In the case of a state ending an EB period, the State 
Workforce Agency will furnish a written notice to each individual who 
is currently filing claims for EB of the forthcoming termination of the 
EB period and its effect on the individual's right to EB (20 CFR 
615.13(c)).
