Notice of a Change in Status of the Extended Benefit (EB) Program for New Mexico
The Department of Labor's (DOL) Employment and Training Administration (ETA) published in the Federal Register on April 27, 2021, concerning New Mexico's EB change. On March 17, 2021, New Mexico Senate Bill 52 was enacted authorizing the use of the optional TUR trigger to determine New Mexico's EB status, and based on data released on March 15, 2021 by BLS, the seasonally-adjusted 3-month average total unemployment rate (TUR) for New Mexico rose above the 8.0 percent threshold necessary to trigger ``on'' to a High Unemployment Period for EB. However, in New Mexico, with the exception of general appropriation legislation, laws go into effect 90 days after date of enactment. This delay was not originally considered, and the original Federal Register Notice published on April 27, 2021 (86 FR 22268) contained an incorrect status change for New Mexico.
