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

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 (see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 
for more details).

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)).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: U.S. Department of Labor, Employment 
and Training Administration, Office of Unemployment Insurance Room S-
4524, Attn: Kevin Stapleton, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 
20210, telephone number (202) 693-3009 (this is not a toll-free number) 
or by email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Based on the data released by the Bureau of 
Labor Statistics on March 14, 2022, the seasonally-adjusted Total 
Unemployment Rate (TUR) for New Jersey fell below the 6.5% threshold 
necessary to remain ``on'' in EB. Therefore the payable period in EB 
for New Jersey will end on April 9, 2022. The trigger notice covering 
state eligibility for the EB program can be found at: http://ows.doleta.gov/unemploy/claims_arch.as.

    Signed in Washington, DC.
Angela Hanks,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training, Labor.
