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

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 released by the Bureau of Labor 
Statistics on November 19, 2021, the seasonally-adjusted Total 
Unemployment Rate (TUR) for Alaska fell below the 6.5% threshold 
necessary to remain ``on'' in EB. Therefore the payable period in EB 
for Alaska will end on December 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 ending an EB period, the State 
Workforce Agency will furnish a written notice to each individual who 
is currently filing a claim for EB of the forthcoming end of the EB 
period and its effect on the individual's rights to EB (20 CFR 
615.13(c)(4)).
