Resolve through the canonical ALFRED CCSA source binding to the advance (first-print) seasonally adjusted insured unemployment level published by DOL ETA for the week ending July 25, 2026, converted from claims to millions by multiplying by 0.000001 and rounded to 0.001 million. Ignore all subsequent revisions. The expected ETA release date is August 6, 2026, within the ledger release window of August 4–8, 2026.
