9638 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 42 / Thursday, March 5, 2009 / Notices 

SUMMARY: Announcement regarding 

states triggering ‘‘on’’ to the Second-Tier 

of Emergency Unemployment 

Compensation (EUC08). 

Public Law 110–449 created a 

Second-Tier of benefits for qualified 

unemployed workers claiming benefits 

in high unemployment states. The 

Department of Labor produces a trigger 

notice indicating which states qualify 

for the Second-Tier of EUC08 benefits 

and provides the beginning and ending 

dates of the Second-Tier period for each 

qualifying state. The trigger notice 

covering state eligibility for the SecondTier of the EUC08 program can be found 

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

claims_arch.asp. A new trigger notice is 

posted at this location each week that 

the program is in effect. 

Beginning February 15, 2009, the 

following states are in a high 

unemployment period, resulting in their 

triggering ‘‘on’’ to the Second-Tier of the 

EUC08 program: Montana and Vermont. 

Information for Claimants 

The duration of benefits payable in 

the EUC program, and the terms and 

conditions under which they are 

payable, are governed by Public Laws 

110–252 and 110–449, and the operating 

instructions issued to the states by the 

U.S. Department of Labor. The State 

Workforce Agency in states beginning a 

high unemployment period, will furnish 

a written notice of potential entitlement 

to each individual who is potentially 

eligible for Second-Tier EUC08 benefits. 

Persons who believe they may be 

entitled to additional benefits under the 

EUC08 program or who wish to inquire 

about their rights under the program 

should contact their State Workforce 

Agency.

regarding the State’s EB status: 

• The 13-week insured 

unemployment rate (IUR) for Nevada 

and Wisconsin for the week ending 

February 07, 2009, rose above 5.0 

percent and exceeded 120 percent of the 

corresponding average rate in the two

unemployed workers will be able to 

collect up to an additional 13 weeks of 

UI benefits. 

Information for Claimants 

The duration of benefits payable in

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
