Abstract
Calculation of Extended Benefits “On” and “Off” Triggers (August 18, 1987) is a statistical worksheet prepared for the State of New Mexico that monitors unemployment insurance extended-benefit eligibility under federal and state trigger provisions. The report tracks weekly insured unemployment data for calendar year 1987 and presents calculations used to determine whether Extended Benefits (EB) should be activated (“on”) or deactivated (“off”). The tabulation includes weekly counts of covered unemployment claims, total covered employment, insured unemployment rates (IURs), 13-week average unemployment rates, corresponding rates for 1985 and 1986, and two-year comparative percentages used in trigger determinations. The document provides a continuous week-by-week record of labor market conditions and serves as an administrative tool for evaluating compliance with statutory unemployment insurance thresholds that govern the availability of extended unemployment compensation during periods of elevated joblessness. It offers a concise historical snapshot of insured unemployment trends in New Mexico during 1987 and documents the methodology used in determining Extended Benefits eligibility.
