Changes to Unemployment Insurance Eligibility in EUC08 and EB Programs

The U.S. Department of Labor has announced changes to the eligibility for Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimants in 10 states participating in the Emergency Unemployment Compensation 2008 (EUC08) and Federal-State Extended Benefits (EB) programs. The changes, which took effect on October 7, 2012, affect Maryland and Texas, which have been removed from the program due to low unemployment rates.
