The following changes have occurred since the publication of the last notice regarding states’ EUC08 trigger status: • Colorado triggers ‘‘off’’ Tier 3 of EUC08 effective 12/14/2013. Based on data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on November 22, 2013, the three month average, seasonally adjusted total unemployment rate in Colorado was 6.9%, falling below the 7.0% trigger rate threshold necessary to remain ‘‘on’’ Tier 3 of EUC08. The week ending December 14, 2013, will be the last week in which EUC08 claimants in Colorado who have exhausted Tier 2, and are otherwise eligible, can establish Tier 3 eligibility. • Florida triggers ‘‘off’’ Tier 3 of EUC08 effective 12/14/2013. Based on data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on November 22, 2013, the three month average, seasonally adjusted total unemployment rate in Florida was 6.8%, falling below the 7.0% trigger rate threshold necessary to remain ‘‘on’’ Tier 3 of EUC08.

Based on data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on November 22, 2013, the three month average, seasonally adjusted total unemployment rate in Rhode Island was 9.1%, exceeding the 9.0% trigger rate threshold necessary to trigger ‘‘on’’ Tier 4 of EUC08.
