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

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under 
the EB program for Virginia.
    The following changes have occurred since the publication of the 
last notice regarding the State's EB status:

     Virginia's 13-week insured unemployment rate (IUR) for 
the week ending October 31, 2020, was 4.66 percent, falling below 
the 5.00 percent threshold necessary to remain ``on'' EB. Therefore, 
the EB period for Virginia ends on November 21, 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)).
