Check that page out tomorrow or next week. There should be further updates on EUC/EB status. It is a very good resource. I've saved every update in a Word file as a doublecheck.
Those emails from the DOL to
hopefull1 are really great. The problem with the reps downline is they really don't know how the information flows.
NC transmits to BLS. BLS programs its database as to whether or not NC statutes track the federal. If BLS had said that NC statutes,
once again, did not track federal, then BLS would say NC didn't correct lookback to track federal and would be triggering off. But, per email to hopeful1, DOL didn't say that. I read somewhere when Gov. Perdue signed that order in January, going forward NC would track federal legislation for as long as EB was federally authorized.
Now, I suppose it is possible BLS could have an error in their database on NC and Gov. Perdue does, in fact, need to issue
another Executive Order. Which would be ridiculous, because every other state out of compliance early in the year saw to it that legislation enacted to correct the lookback would track federal legislation going forward to the end of the year so they wouldn't be in this bind again.
This lack of information/misinformation is common in every state. On the other board, when I responded "kinda rudely" to a poster, my point was every state had this problem and referred her again to PA info I had posted here. I actually wrote the PA DOL webmaster asking them why their site didn't reflect PA was in a HUP period. They fixed their website the next day. This is how badly some of these states run their UE programs.
Which is why I say, talking to a rep this
early in the process is
pointless.
They just don't have the information. You can talk to them and present information/data until the cows come home, but if they don't get the feed from their superiors, they will spout what they "know" at the moment. It is an exercise in frustration.
In fairness, none of the states have ever had to deal with so many unemployed for such a long period with a program with so many layers, and now new complications. It is a strain on their manpower and their computer people. Not to mention the unemployed.
