DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Administration 

Notice of a Change in Status of an 

Extended Benefit (EB) Period for New 

Hampshire 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces a 

change in benefit period eligibility 

under the EB program for New 

Hampshire. 

The following change has occurred 

since the publication of the last notice 

regarding New Hampshire’s EB status: 

• New Hampshire’s total 

unemployment rate (TUR) for June 

2009, released on July 17, 2009, by the 

Bureau of Labor Statistics, brought its 

three-month average seasonally adjusted 

TUR to the threshold for triggering ‘‘on’’ 

to an extended benefit period. 

Beginning with the week of August 2, 

2009, eligible unemployed workers will 

be able to collect up to an additional 13 

weeks of Unemployment Insurance 

benefits. 

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.
