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

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 States' EB status:
     New York State's law conditioned the applicability of 
Total Unemployment Rate (TUR) trigger on full Federal funding of EB 
benefits. The full Federal funding of the EB benefits is scheduled to 
expire September 6, 2021, resulting in the termination of the TUR 
trigger for New York and an ``off'' indicator effective August 15, 
2021. Therefore, this will end any payable period associated with the 
TUR for New York on September 5, 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.
