Employment and Training Administration June 25, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under the EB program for Kentucky.

The Department of Labor (Department) is proposing a rule to implement Federal requirements conditioning a State's receipt of interest-free advances from the Federal Government for the payment of unemployment compensation (UC) upon the State meeting ``funding goals, as established under regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor.'' The proposed rule would require that States: Meet a solvency criterion in one of the 5 calendar years preceding the year in which advances are taken; and meet two tax effort criteria for each calendar year after the solvency criterion is met up to the year in which an advance is requested.
