Notice of a Change in Status of an Extended Benefit (EB) Period 
for the United States Virgin Islands

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility 
under the EB program for the Virgin Islands.
    The following change has occurred since the publication of the last 
notice regarding the Virgin Islands' EB status:
     The Virgin Islands' 13-week insured unemployment rate for 
the week ending June 2, 2018, was below the 5.00 percent threshold. 
Therefore, the EB period for the Virgin Islands will end on June 23, 
2018. The State will remain in an ``off'' period for a minimum of 13 
weeks.

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 ending an EB period, the State 
Workforce Agency will furnish a written notice to each individual who 
is currently filing claims for EB of the forthcoming termination of the 
EB period and its effect on the individual's right to EB (20 CFR 615.13 
(c)).
