Notice of a Change in Status of the Extended Benefit (EB) Program 
for Pennsylvania

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under 
the EB program that has occurred since the publication of the last 
notice regarding the State's EB status:
     Based on the data submitted by Pennsylvania for the week 
reflecting April 24, 2021, the state no longer meets the criteria 
necessary to remain triggered ``on'' the EB program. The states' 13-
week insured unemployment rate (IUR) remains above 5.0 percent, however 
the 13-week IUR is less than 120 percent of the average 13-week rate of 
the prior two years during the corresponding 13-week period. Therefore 
the payable period in EB for Pennsylvania will end on May 15, 2021.
    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.
