Extended Benefits Temporary Look
Back Period
(1) Section 201 of Public Law 112-78, The Temporary
Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011, provides an opportunity for states to
pay federally funded unemployment insurance extended benefits that would not
otherwise be available. To permit this program to be implemented in Oregon,
except as otherwise specified in this rule, the provisions of ORS 657.321
through 657.329 apply to benefits paid under Section 201 of Public Law 112-78.
(2) For benefits for weeks of unemployment beginning
January 1, 2012 through the week ending February 25, 2012, for purposes of
determining an “extended benefit period” or “high unemployment period,” the
average rate of total unemployment in the state (seasonally adjusted), as
determined by the United States Secretary of Labor, for the three-month period
referred to in ORS 657.321(3)(c)(C)(i), must equal or exceed 110 percent of
such average for any or all of the corresponding three-month periods ending in
the three preceding calendar years.
