DOL uses the information collected in
ETA 9128 and ETA 9129 1) to evaluate state performance in terms of
service delivery; and 2) to report on the RESAs, including the
number of scheduled in-person reemployment and eligibility
assessments, the number of individuals who failed to appear for
scheduled assessments, actions taken as a result of individuals not
appearing for an assessment (e.g., benefits terminated), results of
assessments (e.g., referred to reemployment services, found in
compliance with program requirements), estimated savings resulting
from cessation of benefits, and estimated savings as a result of
accelerated reemployment. The population served includes claimants
who have been determined to be most likely to exhaust their
benefits and veterans receiving Unemployment Compensation for
Ex-Servicemembers (UCX). It is proposed that the population of
claimants who are most likely to exhaust their benefits be reported
on the ETA 9128 and the ETA 9129 and separate reports with the same
data elements be provided for UCX claimants. These reports will be
the ETA 9128 X and the ETA 9129 X.
Changes include discontinuation
of separate reporting (forms) for program participants receiving
Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemember (UCX) that was
previously conducted under the ETA 9128X and 9129X - these forms
were removed.
