Notice of a Change in Status of an Extended Benefit (EB) Period for Alaska
This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under the EB Program for Alaska.
Summary
The following change has occurred since the publication of the last notice regarding the State's EB status:
• March 6, 2005. Alaska triggered "on" EB. Alaska's 13-week insured unemployment rate for the week ending February 19, 2005, rose above the 6.0 percent threshold necessary to be triggered "on" to EB effective for the week beginning March 6, 2005.
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 the nearest State Workforce Agency.
Signed at Washington, DC, on April 22, 2005.
Emily Stover DeRocco,
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment and Training.
