Sec. 615.13  Announcement of the beginning and ending of Extended Benefit Periods.

    (a) State indicators. Upon receipt of the notice required by 
Sec. 615.12(e) which is acceptable to the Department, the Department 
shall publish in the Federal Register a notice of the State agency 
head's determination that there is an ``on'' or an ``off'' indicator in 
the State, as the case may be, the name of the State and the beginning 
or ending of the Extended Benefit Period, whichever is appropriate. The 
Department shall also notify appropriate news media, the heads of all 
other State agencies, and the Regional Administrators of the Employment 
and Training Administration of the State agency head's determination of 
such State ``on'' or ``off'' indicator and of its effect.
    (b) Publicity by State. Whenever a State agency head determines that 
there is an ``on'' indicator in the State by reason of which an Extended 
Benefit Period will begin in the State, or an ``off'' indicator by 
reason of which an

Extended Benefit Period in the State will end, the head of the State 
agency shall promptly announce the determination through appropriate 
news media in the State and notify the Department in accordance with 
Sec. 615.12(e). Such announcement shall include the beginning or ending 
date of the Extended Benefit Period, whichever is appropriate. In the 
case of an Extended Benefit Period that is about to begin, the 
announcement shall describe clearly the unemployed individuals who may 
be eligible for Extended Benefits during the period, and in the case of 
an Extended Benefit Period that is about to end, the announcement shall 
also describe clearly the individuals whose entitlement to Extended 
Benefits will be terminated.
    (c) Notices to individuals. (1) Whenever there has been a 
determination that an Extended Benefit Period will begin in a State, the 
State agency shall provide prompt written notice of potential 
entitlement to Extended Benefits to each individual who has established 
a benefit year in the State that will not end prior to the beginning of 
the Extended Benefit Period, and who exhausted all rights under the 
State law to regular compensation before the beginning of the Extended 
Benefit Period.
    (2) The State agency shall provide such notice promptly to each 
individual who begins to claim sharable regular benefits or who exhausts 
all rights under the State law to regular compensation during an 
Extended Benefit Period, including exhaustion by reason of the 
expiration of the individual's benefit year.
    (3) The notices required by paragraphs (c) (1) and (2) of this 
section shall describe those actions required of claimants for sharable 
regular compensation and Extended Benefits and those disqualifications 
which apply to such benefits which are different from those applicable 
to other claimants for regular compensation which is not sharable.
    (4) Whenever there has been a determination that an Extended Benefit 
Period will end in a State, the State agency shall provide prompt 
written notice to each individual who is currently filing claims for 
Extended Benefits of the forthcoming end of the Extended Benefit Period 
and its effect on the individual's right to Extended Benefits.
