APPENDIX A

Unemployment Insurance Data Validation Operations Guide

EXPLANATION OF UI BENEFITS DATA FORMATS
There are five types of data formats referred to in Appendix A.
1. Required. These fields cannot be blank. They may be mandatory dates and
dollar values.
2. Text. These fields have text values that must be entered, such as UI, partial,
voluntary quit, etc. All of the allowable generic text values for each field are
listed in the record layout. The generic text values must be followed by a
dash and the corresponding state-specific value.
3. Optional (these fields are gray in Appendix A). The software does not
look at these fields at all. Any values can be entered or they can be left
blank.
4. Must be blank. These are text or date fields where the presence of data
indicates an error. Therefore, they must be left blank (such as monetary date
where the subpopulation is for a claim with no monetary determination or a
UCFE amount for a UI only payment).
5. Must be blank or 0. These are numeric fields where the presence of data
other than “0” indicates an error.
Some values are abbreviated in the record layouts (Appendix A) but are shown in
the report validation specifications (Appendix A) in their entirety for informational
purposes.
Notes:
For most steps referenced in Appendix A column headers, Rule 1 is the indicator
in the state system. However, if a state does not maintain the indicator specified
in Rule 1, then the state programmer must review the other rules in that step in
order to develop the required validation logic.
Unique ID is required for populations 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 and optional for
populations 5, 12, 13, and 14 because not all states maintain the indicators for
these four populations. There is no unique ID field for populations 1 and 3.
Federal Wages are required in certain situations. In population 4, for Joint
UI/Federal payments UCFE amount and/or UCX amount is required. In
population 4 for UCFE or UCFE/UCX payments, UCX amount is only required for
joint UCFE and UCX claims. In populations 12, 13 and 14 federal amount is
required for UI overpayments when there are also federal wages.

Unemployment Insurance Data Validation Operations Guide

EXPLANATION OF UI TAX DATA FORMATS
There are 6 types of data formats referred to in Appendix B.
1. Required. These fields cannot be blank. They may be mandatory codes,
dates or dollar values. Required cells in Appendix A tables indicate the
required code, date, or dollar value parameters, or display the word
“Required.”
Required text fields have code values that must be entered, such as A, C, R,
etc. All of the allowable generic values for each field are listed in the Data
Type/Format column on the record layout. The generic values must be
followed by a dash and the corresponding state-specific value.
2. Conditionally required. Data are included in these fields if the data are
present in the state’s system. Applies to date and wages fields.
3. Optional. These fields are gray in Appendix B and the word “Optional” is
displayed. The software does not look at these fields at all. Any values can
be entered or they can be left blank.
4. Must be blank. These are text or date fields where the presence of data
indicates an error. Therefore, they must be left blank (such as population 4
transaction date for balance subpopulations 4.7, 4.8, 4.15, and 4.16).
5. Must be blank or 0. These are numeric fields where the presence of data
other than 0 indicates an error. In tax these are primarily wages fields in
populations 4 and 5.
6. System generated. These fields are generated by the DV software and
data should not be placed in these fields in the extract files. These fields are
primarily time lapse and age fields.
Notes:
For most steps referenced in Appendix B column headers, Rule 1 is the indicator
in the state system. However, if a state does not maintain the indicator specified
in Rule 1, then the state programmer must review the other rules in that step in
order to develop the required validation logic.
The extract file type is ASCII, comma delimited. Data must be in the order listed
in the record layouts.
