Employment and Training Administration January 7, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under the EB Program for Puerto Rico. The following change has occurred since the publication of the last notice regarding the State's EB status: Puerto Rico's 13-week IUR has fallen below the 6% threshold and does not equal or exceed 120% of the average rate in the two prior years. As a result of data reported for the week ending November 27, 2010, Puerto Rico has triggered off of EB. Puerto Rico's payable period in the Federal-State Extended Benefit program will conclude December 18, 2010, and Puerto Rico will enter a mandatory 13 week ``off'' period.
