SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following changes have occurred since 
the publication of the last notice regarding the State's EB status:
     Indiana's 13-week insured unemployment rate (IUR) for the 
week ending October 24, 2020, was 4.85 percent, falling below the 5.00 
percent threshold necessary to remain ``on'' EB. Therefore, the EB 
period for Indiana ends on November 14, 2020. The state will remain in 
an ``off'' period for a minimum of 13 weeks.
     Maine's 13-week insured unemployment rate (IUR) for the 
week ending October 24, 2020, was 4.88 percent, falling below the 5.00 
percent threshold necessary to remain ``on'' EB. Therefore, the EB 
period for Maine ends on November 14, 2020. The state will remain in an 
``off'' period for a minimum of 13 weeks.
     Montana's 13-week insured unemployment rate (IUR) for the 
week ending October 24, 2020, was 4.69 percent, falling below the 5.00 
percent threshold necessary to remain ``on'' EB. Therefore, the EB 
period for Montana ends on November 14, 2020. The state 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)).

    Signed in Washington, DC.

Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training.
