Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 42 / Thursday, March 5, 2009 / Notices
SUMMARY: Announcement regarding
states triggering ‘‘on’’ to the Second-Tier
of Emergency Unemployment
Compensation (EUC08).
Public Law 110–449 created a
Second-Tier of benefits for qualified
unemployed workers claiming benefits
in high unemployment states. The
Department of Labor produces a trigger
notice indicating which states qualify
for the Second-Tier of EUC08 benefits
and provides the beginning and ending
dates of the Second-Tier period for each
qualifying state. The trigger notice
covering state eligibility for the SecondTier of the EUC08 program can be found
at: https://ows.doleta.gov/unemploy/
claims_arch.asp. A new trigger notice is
posted at this location each week that
the program is in effect.
Beginning February 15, 2009, the
following states are in a high
unemployment period, resulting in their
triggering ‘‘on’’ to the Second-Tier of the
EUC08 program: Montana and Vermont.
Information for Claimants
The duration of benefits payable in
the EUC program, and the terms and
conditions under which they are
payable, are governed by Public Laws
110–252 and 110–449, and the operating
instructions issued to the states by the
U.S. Department of Labor. The State
Workforce Agency in states beginning a
high unemployment period, will furnish
a written notice of potential entitlement
to each individual who is potentially
eligible for Second-Tier EUC08 benefits.
Persons who believe they may be
entitled to additional benefits under the
EUC08 program or who wish to inquire
about their rights under the program
should contact their State Workforce
Agency.
