Notice of a Change in Status of an Extended Benefit (EB) Period 
for the State of Rhode Island

    This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under 
the EB Program for the State of Rhode Island.

Summary

    The following change has occurred since the publication of the last 
notice regarding States' EB status:
     April 9, 1995--Rhode Island's 13-week insured unemployment 
rate for the week ending March 25, 1995 rose above 6.0 percent, causing 
the State to trigger ``on'' EB effective April 9, 1995.

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 
employment security 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 extended benefits (20 CFR 
615.13(c)(1)).
    Persons who believe they may be entitled to EB benefits, or who 
wish to inquire about the rights under the programs, should contact the 
nearest State employment service office or unemployment compensation 
claims office in their locality.

    Signed at Washington, D.C., on May 8, 1995.
Doug Ross,
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment and Training.
