Notice of a Change in Status of an Extended Benefits (EB) Period 
for Alaska

    This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under 
the EB Program for Alaska.

Summary

    The following change has occurred since the publication of the last 
notice regarding the State's EB status:
     May 16, 1998  Alaska's 13-week insured unemployment rate 
for the week ending May 16, 1998, fell below 6.0 percent and was less 
than 120 percent of the average for the corresponding period for the 
prior two years, causing Alaska to trigger ``off'' EB effective June 7, 
1998.

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 EB (20 CFR 615.13(c)(1)). In 
the case of a State ending an EB period, the State employment security 
agency will furnish a written notice of the EB period and its effect on 
individual rights to EB (20 CFR 615.13(c)(4)) to each individual who is 
filing a claim for EB.
    Persons who believe they may be entitled to EB, or who wish to 
inquire about their rights under the programs, should contact the 
nearest State employment service office or unemployment compensation 
claims office in their locality.
