Notice of a Change in Status of an 

Extended Benefit (EB) Period for West 

Virginia. 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces a 

change in benefit period eligibility 

under the EB program for West Virginia. 

The following change has occurred 

since the publication of the last notice 

regarding West Virginia’s EB status: 

• West Virginia has enacted a 

retroactive TUR trigger for their EB 

program. West Virginia would have 

triggered on with the release of state 

total unemployment rates (TURs) for 

April 2009, released by the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics on May 22, 2009. This 

means their current EB period began 

June 7, 2009. In addition, the three 

month average seasonally adjusted TUR 

rose above the 8.0 percent threshold for 

a High Unemployment Period (HUP) 

with the release of June TURs on July 

17, 2009. As a result, a HUP in the EB 

program began in West Virginia on 

August 2. Eligible claimants will be able 

to receive up to 20 weeks of additional 

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 a HUP 

period, the State Workforce Agency will 

furnish a written notice of potential 

entitlement to each individual who may 

be eligible for increased benefits due to 

the HUP (20 CFR 615.13 (c) (1)). 

Persons who wish to inquire about 

their rights under the program should

Notice of a Change in Status of an 

Extended Benefit (EB) Period for Idaho 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces a 

change in benefit period eligibility 

under the EB program for Idaho. 

The following change has occurred 

since the publication of the last notice 

regarding Idaho’s EB status: 

• Idaho has modified its law by 

adding a total unemployment rate (TUR) 

trigger. As a result, Idaho triggered ‘‘on’’ 

to a high unemployment period (HUP) 

for weeks of unemployment beginning 

September 6, 2009, and eligible 

unemployed workers will be able to 

collect up to an additional 20 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 a HUP, 

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.
