Department of Labor July 11, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under the EB Program for Rhode Island. The following change has occurred since the publication of the last notice regarding the State's EB status: Effective June 22, 2008, Rhode Island's 3-month seasonally adjusted total unemployment rate rose to the 6.5 percent threshold and exceeded 110 percent of the corresponding rate in the prior year. This causes the State to be triggered ``on'' to an EB period beginning July 6, 2008.
