AGENCY:

ACTION:

Notice.

This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under the EB program for Arizona, Maryland, Oklahoma, and West Virginia.

The following changes have occurred since the publication of the last notice regarding the State's EB status:

  • Arizona's 13-week insured unemployment rate (IUR) for the week ending November 21, 2020, was 4.78 percent, falling below the 5.00 percent threshold necessary to remain “on” EB. Therefore, the EB period for Arizona ends on December 12, 2020. The state will remain in an “off” period for a minimum of 13 weeks.
  • Maryland's 13-week IUR for the week ending November 21, 2020, was 4.96 percent, falling below the 5.00 percent threshold necessary to remain “on” EB. Therefore, the EB period for Maryland ends on December 12, 2020. The state will remain in an “off” period for a minimum of 13 weeks.
  • Oklahoma's 13-week IUR for the week ending November 21, 2020, was 4.94 percent, falling below the 5.00 percent threshold necessary to remain “on” EB. Therefore, the EB period for Oklahoma ends on December 12, 2020. The state will remain in an “off” period for a minimum of 13 weeks.
  • West Virginia's 13-week IUR for the week ending November 21, 2020, was 4.64 percent, falling below the 5.00 percent threshold necessary to remain “on” EB. Therefore, the EB period for West Virginia ends on December 12, 2020. The state will remain in an “off” period for a minimum of 13 weeks.

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 state 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 claims for EB of the forthcoming termination of the EB Start Printed Page 81523period and its effect on the individual's right to EB (20 CFR 615.13 (c)).
