SUMMARY: Announcement regarding states triggering ``off'' of Tiers 
Three and Four of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC08) 
program.
    Public law 111-312 extended provisions in public law 111-92 which 
amended prior laws to create a Third and Fourth Tier of benefits within 
the EUC08 program for qualified unemployed workers claiming benefits in 
high unemployment states. The Department of Labor produces a trigger 
notice indicating which states qualify for EUC08 benefits within Tiers 
Three and Four and provides the beginning and ending dates of payable 
periods for each qualifying state. The trigger notice covering state 
eligibility for the EUC08 program can be found at: https://ows.doleta.gov/unemploy/claims_arch.asp.
    Based on data published June 17 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 
the following trigger changes have occurred for states in the EUC08 
program:
     Indiana's three month average, seasonally adjusted total 
unemployment rate fell below the 8.5% threshold to remain ``on'' in 
Tier Four of the EUC08 program. The week ending July 9, 2011 was the 
last week in which EUC claimants in Indiana could exhaust Tier Three, 
and establish Tier Four eligibility. Under the phase-out provisions, 
claimants may receive any remaining entitlement they have in Tier Four 
after July 9, 2011. Eligibility for claimants has been reduced from a 
maximum potential entitlement of 53 weeks to a maximum potential 
entitlement of 47 weeks in the EUC08 program.
     Oklahoma's three month average, seasonally adjusted total 
unemployment rate fell below the 6% threshold to remain ``on'' in Tier 
Three of the EUC08 program. The week ending July 9, 2011 was the last 
week in which EUC claimants in Oklahoma could exhaust Tier Two, and 
establish Tier Three eligibility. Under the phase-out provisions, 
claimants may receive any remaining entitlement they have in Tier Three 
after July 9, 2011. Eligibility for claimants has been reduced from a 
maximum potential entitlement of 47 weeks to a maximum potential 
entitlement of 34 weeks in the EUC08 program.
