Notice of a Change in Status of an

Extended Benefit (EB) Period for

Puerto Rico

This notice announces a change in

benefit period eligibility under the EB

Program for Puerto Rico.

Summary

The following change has occurred

since the publication of the last notice

regarding States’ EB status:

• May 5, 1996—Puerto Rico triggered

‘‘on’’ EB. Puerto Rico’s 13-week insured

unemployment rate had been above the

6.0 percent threshold necessary to be

trigger ‘‘on’’ to EB since the week of

March 9, 1996. However, Section

203(b)(1)(B) of the Federal-State

Extended Unemployment Compensation

Act of 1970 specifies that no extended

benefit period may begin for a State

before the fourteenth week after the

close of the States’ most recent extended

benefit period. Puerto Rico’s previous

extended benefit period ended February

3, 1996 and the fourteenth week

following the end of that extended

benefit period is the week beginning

May 5, 1996.

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 employment security

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

extended benefits (20 CFR 615.13(c)(1)).

Persons who believe they may be

entitled to EB benefits, or who wish to

inquire about their rights under the

programs, should contact the nearest

State employment service office or

unemployment compensation claims

office in their locality.

Signed at Washington, DC, on June 19,

1996.

Timothy M. Barnicle,

Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment

and Training.
