SUMMARY: Announcement regarding a change in eligibility for

Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Ohio, South Carolina and 
Texas in the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC08) program, and 
the Federal-State Extended Benefits (EB) program.

[[Page 19736]]

    The U.S. Department of Labor (Department) produces trigger notices 
indicating which states qualify for both EB and EUC08 benefits, and 
provides the beginning and ending dates of payable periods for each 
qualifying state. The trigger notices covering state eligibility for 
these programs 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 states EUC08 and EB trigger status:
     Maryland and Texas have triggered ``off'' in Tier 3 of 
EUC08
    Maryland and Texas began a 13-week mandatory ``on'' period in Tier 
3 of EUC08 on October 7, 2012. Based on data released from the Bureau 
of Labor Statistics, these states are below the 7.0 percent threshold 
rate necessary to remain ``on'' in Tier 3 of EUC08. As a result, they 
have concluded a payable period in Tier 3 and the week ending January 
5, 2013, was the last week in which EUC08 claimants in these states 
could exhaust Tier 2, and establish Tier 3 eligibility. Under the 
phase-out provisions, claimants could receive any remaining entitlement 
they had in Tier 3 after January 5, 2013.
     Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina have triggered 
``off'' in Tier 4 of EUC08.
    The three month average, seasonally adjusted total unemployment 
rate in these states fell below the 9.0 percent threshold rate to 
remain ``on'' in Tier 4 of EUC08. This triggered these states ``off'' 
of Tier 4 and the week ending January 12, 2013, was the last week in 
which EUC08 claimants in these states could exhaust Tier 3, and 
establish Tier 4 eligibility. Under the phase-out provisions, claimants 
could receive any remaining entitlement they had in Tier 4 after 
January 12, 2013.
     Louisiana, Missouri, and Ohio have triggered ``off'' in 
Tier 3 of EUC08.
    The three month average, seasonally adjusted total unemployment 
rate in Louisiana, Missouri, and Ohio fell below the 7.0 percent 
threshold rate to remain ``on'' in Tier 3 of EUC08. This triggered 
these states ``off'' of Tier 3 and the week ending January 12, 2013, 
was the last week in which EUC08 claimants in these states could 
exhaust Tier 2, and establish Tier 3 eligibility. Under the phase-out 
provisions, claimants could receive any remaining entitlement they had 
in Tier 3 after January 12, 2013.
     Montana has triggered ``off'' in Tier 2 of EUC08.
    The three month average, seasonally adjusted total unemployment 
rate in Montana fell below the 6.0 percent threshold rate to remain 
``on'' in Tier 2 of EUC08. This triggered Montana ``off'' of Tier 2 and 
the week ending January 12, 2013, was the last week in which EUC08 
claimants in Montana could have exhausted Tier 1, and establish Tier 2 
eligibility. Under the phase-out provisions, claimants could receive 
any remaining entitlement they had in Tier 2 after January 12, 2013.
     Alaska has triggered ``on'' Tier 4 of EUC08.
    Alaska's 13-week insured unemployment rate for the week ending 
January 19, 2013, rose to meet the 6 percent threshold to trigger 
``on'' to Tier 4 of EUC08. The payable period for Alaska in Tier Four 
of EUC08 began February 3, 2013. As a result, the current maximum 
potential entitlement for claimants in Alaska in EUC08 has increased 
from 37 weeks to 47 weeks.
     Alaska triggers ``on'' to EB.
    Alaska's 13-week insured unemployment rate for the week ending 
January 19, 2013, rose to meet the 6 percent threshold to trigger
