UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE PROGRAM LETTER NO. 13-13 (3/8/13)
The Department of Labor issued notice to State Workforce Agencies on March 8 directing them to impose cuts to federal unemployment benefits for the long-term unemployed through the federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation program. This notice indicates that benefit reductions should in most cases start in the first week of April, and will amount to a 10.7 percent drop in benefits. If states delay implementation till the beginning of June, the reduction will rise to 12.8 percent, with even deeper cuts if states cannot start the cuts until June or later.
