Brent Orr has the following posted on his FaceBook page.
Please note, the unemployment USDA code is 445 (which I also noticed when I completed my online application this morning.) If someone is going to file their unemployment form in person, please make sure they check this, as the code CED's received in the email from the STO to complete the form was 455.

"From Associate Administrator Candy Thompson:
Some recent unemployment guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Employee's will need to provide the a 3 Digit Federal Identification Code (FIC), when they file their claim. The USDA FIC is 445.
Employees can receive information and guidance on the process from their local state offices (by local state office, that means the unemployment office for your state) and please share this info. One office is advising that, if an employee can provide their Agencies' FIC, street address, and the gross salary amount they have earned for the past three fiscal quarters, they can successfully file a claim.
Our office has also suggested that furloughed Federal employees should list their “anticipated return to work date” as November 9th. Federal employees in a furlough status are eligible for up to 6 weeks of benefits, that’s where the November 9th date comes from.
By indicating that they are still attached to their employer and expected to return to work on Nov. 9th – they will avoid having to do all of this:
• Completing an on-line resume
• Demonstrating that they’ve made at least 3 work search contacts each week
• Completing an on-line work search assignment
• Having a case manager assigned"
