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

Streszczenie

This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under the EB Program for Rhode Island. The following change has occurred since the publication of the last notice regarding the State's EB status: Effective October 21, 2008, Rhode Island's 3-month seasonally adjusted total unemployment rate rose to 8.4 percent, exceeding the 8 percent threshold. This causes the State to be triggered "on" to a high unemployment period (HUP) in the EB program period beginning November 9, 2008.
