Due to the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, the filing period for DUA is extended through November 30, 2005.

Juarez, Regional Administrator, Dallas. From: Emily Stover Derocco, Assistant Secretary of Labor. Subject: Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA)—Extension of Period for Submitting Documentation. Due to the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, the time required for submission of documentation under 20 CFR 625.6(e)(1) is extended. For purposes of Hurricane Katrina, this documentation must be submitted within 90 days calendar days after the filing of the initial application for DUA. This extension is based on the fact that there has been widespread evacuation of workers due to the hurricane. It is unlikely that evacuees who do not have documentation at the time of filing will be able to obtain documentation within the 21-day period specified by the regulation because they will not have access to the appropriate documentation and may have to rely on others to provide this documentation. More specifically, 20 CFR 625.6(e)(1) provides that when an applicant’s weekly DUA amount is based only ‘‘on the individual’s statement,’’ the individual shall furnish documentation in support of this statement ‘‘within 21 calendar days of the filing of the initial application for DUA.’’ As discussed above, for purposes of Hurricane Katrina, this period is extended to within 90 calendar days of filing the initial application. Please advise the States of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi of this extension. These states should take appropriate action to notify both future applicants and applicants who were initially unable to supply documentation of this extension. [FR Doc.
