The "Systematic
Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program Data Collection"
is approved through September 1988. OMB requests the Department,
however, to clarify the data collection request in the UI Program
Letter to be sent to the States. The request should provide the
following: States are requested to provide the following
information: (a) The number of aliens claiming UI benefits in
relation to the total number of UI claimants, to result from use of
the INS system (e.g., average duration times average weekly benefit
amount), (b) Any savings in the UI benefit expenditures reasonably
expected to result from use of the system (e.g., average duration
times average weekly benefit amount), (c) The State's estimate of
the labor and non-labor costs of its administration of the INS
system (over and above those costs which are financed with UI
grants), (d) The degree to which INS has proved capable of
providing timely and accurate information in response to previous
SESA requests, and (e) Other relevant factors, such as seasonality
of alien claims, percentage of alien claims denied due to false
documentation or work registration status, or any other
data/information that the State believes will support its waiver
request.
