Notice of a Change in Status of an 

Extended Benefit (EB) Period for 

Kentucky 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces a 

change in benefit period eligibility 

under the EB program for Kentucky. 

The following change has occurred 

since the publication of the last notice 

regarding Kentucky’s EB status: 

• Kentucky has modified its law by 

adding a total unemployment rate (TUR) 

trigger retroactive to February 1, 2009. 

As a result, Kentucky has retroactively 

triggered ‘‘on’’ to an extended benefit 

period for weeks of unemployment 

beginning February 22, 2009, and ‘‘on’’ 

to a high unemployment period (HUP) 

for weeks of unemployment beginning 

April 12, 2009. 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 an 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.
