DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

Notice of a Change in Status of an 

Extended Benefit (EB) Period for South 

Carolina 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces a 

change in benefit period eligibility 

under the EB program for South 

Carolina. 

The following change has occurred 

since the publication of the last notice 

regarding the State’s EB status: 

• The 13-week insured 

unemployment rate (IUR) for South 

Carolina for the week ending February 

21, 2009, rose above 5.0 percent and 

exceeded 120 percent of the 

corresponding average rate in the two 

prior years. Therefore, beginning the 

week of March 8, 2009, eligible 

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 

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.
