Notice of a Change in Status of the
Extended Benefit (EB) Program for
Vermont
Employment and Training
Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Notice of availability; request
for comments.
ACTION:
Vermont’s 13-week insured unemployment
rate (IUR) for the week ending April 18, 2020
was 6.27 percent, which exceeds 120 percent
of the corresponding rate in the prior two
years. This IUR caused Vermont to be
triggered ‘‘on’’ to an EB period that began
May 3, 2020. The State will remain in an EB
period for a minimum of 13 weeks.
The trigger notice covering state
eligibility for the EB program can be
found at: https://oui.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 beginning 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.
