AGENCY:
• Based on data released by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics on January 24,
2012, Maine and Michigan do not meet
one of the necessary criteria to remain
on in the EB program: Having a TUR
trigger rate at least ten percent greater
than the rate for a comparable period in
any of the three prior years. This
triggered Maine and Michigan ‘‘off’’ the
EB program with the week ending
January 28, 2012. The end of the
payable period in both states in the EB
program will be February 18, 2012.
The trigger notice covering state
eligibility for the EB program can be
found at: https://ows.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 concluding 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.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training
Administration
Notice of a Change in Status of the
Payable Periods in the Emergency
Unemployment Compensation 2008
(EUC08) Program for Connecticut and
Missouri
Employment and Training
Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces a
change in status of the payable periods
in the Emergency Unemployment
Compensation 2008 (EUC08) program
for Connecticut and Missouri.
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. The following changes
have occurred since the publication of
the last notice regarding these States’
EUC08 status:
• Based on data released by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics on January 24,
2012, the three month average,
seasonally adjusted total unemployment
rate for Connecticut and Missouri fell
below the 8.5% threshold to remain
‘‘on’’ in Tier 4 of the EUC08 program.
As a result, the current maximum
potential entitlement for Connecticut
and Missouri in the EUC08 program will
decrease from 53 weeks to 47 weeks.
The week ending February 18, 2012 will
be the last week in which EUC
claimants in Connecticut and Missouri
can exhaust Tier 3, and establish Tier 4
eligibility. Under the phase-out
provisions, claimants can receive any
remaining entitlement they have in Tier
4 after February 18, 2012.
SUMMARY:
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, 110–449, 111–5, 111–92, 111–
118, 111–144, 111–157, 111–205, 111–
312, and 112–78, and the operating
