DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Notice of a Change in Status of the Extended Benefit (EB) Program
for Utah
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This notice announces a change in benefit payment status under the
EB program for Utah.
The following change has occurred since the publication of the last
notice regarding each Utah's EB status:
The 13-week insured unemployment rate (IUR) for Utah, for the week
ending June 13, 2020, rose above 5.0 percent and exceeded 120 percent
of the corresponding average rate in the two prior years. Therefore,
beginning the week of June 28, 2020, eligible unemployed workers will
be able to collect up to an additional 13 weeks of UI benefits.
The trigger notice covering state eligibility for the EB program
can be found at: http://oui.doleta.gov/unemploy/claims_arch.asp.

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.
