Notice of a Change in Status of an 

Extended Benefit (EB) Period for 

Michigan 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces a 

change in benefit period eligibility 

under the EB program for Michigan. 

The following changes have occurred 

since the publication of the last notice 

regarding the State’s EB status: 

• Based on data released by the 

Bureau of Labor Statistics on March 10, 

2011, Michigan no longer meets the 

110% criteria to remain ‘‘on’’ in the EB 

program. As a result, the payable period 

for Michigan in the EB program will 

conclude April 2, 2011. 

The trigger notice covering state 

eligibility for the EB program can be 

found at: http://ows.doleta.gov/ 

unemploy/claims_arch.asp. 

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.

Announcement Regarding Delaware 

Triggering ‘‘on’’ Tier Four of 

Emergency Unemployment 

Compensation 2008 (EUC08) 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Announcement regarding 

Delaware triggering ‘‘on’’ Tier Four of 

Emergency Unemployment 

Compensation 2008 (EUC08). 

Public Law 111–312 extended 

provisions in Public Law 111–92 which 

amended prior laws to create a Third 

and Fourth Tier of benefits within the 

EUC08 program for qualified 

unemployed workers claiming benefits 

in high unemployment states. The 

Department of Labor produces a trigger 

notice indicating which states qualify 

for EUC08 benefits within Tiers Three 

and Four and provides the beginning 

and ending dates of payable periods for 

each qualifying state. The trigger notice 

covering state eligibility for the EUC08 

program can be found at: http:// 

ows.doleta.gov/unemploy/ 

claims_arch.asp. 

Based on data published March 10, 

2011, by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 

the following trigger change has 

occurred for Delaware in the EUC08 

program: 

• The seasonally-adjusted total 

unemployment rate for the 3-month 

period ending January 2011 for 

Delaware rose to meet or exceed the 

8.5% threshold to be ‘‘on’’ Tier Four of 

the EUC08 program. As a result, the 

payable period for Delaware in Tier 

Four of the EUC08 program will begin 

March 27, 2011, and the maximum
