DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 
Employment and Training 
Administration 
Notice of a Change in Status of the 
Extended Benefit (EB) Program for the 
Virgin Islands 
AGENCY: Employment and Training 
Administration, Labor. 
ACTION: Notice. 
SUMMARY: This notice announces a 
change in benefit payment status 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 (IUR) for the week 
ending December 02, 2017 was 5.68 
percent which exceeds 120 percent of 
the corresponding rate in the prior year. 
This caused Virgin Islands to be 
triggered ‘‘on’’ to an EB period that 
began December 17, 2017. The State will 
remain in an EB period for a minimum 
of 13 weeks. 
The trigger notice covering state 
eligibility for the EB program can be 
found at: http://oui.doleta.gov/ 
unemploy/claims_arch.asp. 
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 beginning an EB 
period, the State Workforce Agency will 
furnish a written notice of potential 
entitlement to each individual who has 
exhausted all rights to regular benefits 
and is potentially eligible for EB (20 
CFR 615.13 (c) (1)). 
Persons who believe they may be 
entitled to EB, or who wish to inquire 
about their rights under the program, 
should contact their State Workforce 
Agency.

BILLING CODE 4510–FW–P 
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 
Employment and Training 
Administration 
Notice To Ensure State Workforce 
Agencies Are Aware of the Revised 
Schedule of Remuneration for the 
Unemployment Compensation for Ex- 
Servicemembers Program That 
Reflects the Military Pay Increase 
Effective January 1, 2018 
AGENCY: Employment and Training 
Administration, Labor. 
ACTION: Notice. 
SUMMARY: Each year, the Department of 
Defense issues a Schedule of 
Remuneration that may be used by 
states, as needed, for UCX purposes. 
States must use the schedule to 
determine Federal military wages for 
UCX ‘‘first claims’’ only when the 
Federal Claims Control Center (FCCC) 
responds to a request for information 
indicating that there is no Copy 5 of the 
Certificate of Release or Discharge from 
Active Duty (DD Form 214) for an 
individual under the social security 
number provided. A response from the 
FCCC that indicates ‘‘no DD214 on file’’ 
will prompt the state to start the 
affidavit process and to use the attached 
schedule to calculate the Federal 
military wages for an unemployment 
insurance or UCX monetary 
determination. 
The schedule applies to UCX ‘‘first 
claims’’ filed beginning with the first 
day of the first week that begins on or 
after January 1, 2018, pursuant to the 
UCX program regulations (see 20 CFR 
614.12(c)). States must continue to use 
the 2017 schedule (or other appropriate 
schedule) for UCX ‘‘first claims’’ filed 
before the effective date of the revised 
schedule.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Employment 
and Training, Labor.
