Abstract: The Social Security Act authorizes DOL to prescribe standard definitions, methods and procedures, and reporting requirements for the collection of information on benefit payment accuracy and the reemployment of UI benefit recipients to ensure the verification of these data. The ETA 9060 report provides a count of the claimants who were referred to Reemployment and Eligibility Assessment (REA)program and a count of those who completed the services. The ETA 9061 report provides for the subsequent collection of outcome data, which assists in monitoring the success of the REA program.
