Title: Implementation of Total Unemployment Rate Extended Benefits Trigger and Rounding Rule
Abstract: Regulations at 20 CFR part 615 apply to the Extended Benefits (EB) program as implemented following passage of the Federal-State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970 (26 U.S.C. 3304 note). They do not include amendments passed in 1992 (Pub. L. 102-318) which allowed States to implement an optional total unemployment rate (TUR) trigger mechanism. The proposed rule will add the TUR trigger to regulations. Also, until recently, the calculation of the TUR trigger paralleled the calculation of the insured unemployment rate trigger in the original law and truncated digits after the second decimal place expressed as a percentage. This rulemaking proposes a new methodology to calculate the "on" or "off" TUR indicators to determine when EB periods begin and end in a State.
