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

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 District of Columbia's EB status:
     Based in the language in the District's law which 
conditioned the applicability of the Total Unemployment Rate (TUR) 
trigger on full Federal funding resulted in an ``off'' indicator for 
the District of Columbia for the week ending August 21, 2021. This will 
end any payable period associated with the TUR trigger for the District 
of Columbia on September 11, 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.
