1205-0010 non subs FAC change justification

Non-substantive change to the ETA 5159 (OMB No. 1205-0010)

On February 23, 2009, Unemployment Insurance Program Letter 11-09*, which contains ETA guidance for implementing the new temporary federal additional compensation program was signed and became effective. This UIPL has an attachment** titled “Implementing and Operating Instructions for the FAC program”. This attachment makes slight modifiations to the reporting instructions for 1205-0010, but does not change the structure of the report or the frequency of collection, but modifies the way certain reporting items are defined. The modifications to the reporting instructions are as follows:

Payment amounts reported by states on the ETA 5159 report, for any tier of benefits, should not include the supplemental FAC payments.

1. Line 302 on all ETA 5159 reports. Amounts Paid. Report amounts of UC paid but do not include the supplemental FAC payments.

2. Line 402 on all ETA 5159 reports. Amounts Paid. Report amounts of UC paid but do not include the supplemental FAC payments.
