Persons are not required to respond to this collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. Public reporting burden for this collection of information includes the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

Purpose

The ETA 9128 report provides quarterly information on the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) activities of claimants who are most likely to exhaust their Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits and are selected to participate in the RESEA program. RESEAs provide in-person service in American Job Centers for claimants including the development of an individualized work search plan, provision of appropriate labor market information (LMI) and reemployment services as appropriate. The data on this report allows for evaluation and monitoring of the RESEA program.

Due Date and Transmittal

The electronically submitted report is due in the ETA National Office on the 20th of the second month following the quarter of reference (May 20, August 20, November 20, and February 20).

General Reporting Instructions

Data on this report deals with individuals who are receiving regular UI and Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE) and who are selected for an RESEA. Extended benefits programs are not included in this report. State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) should ensure that systems are in place to collect information on service referrals.

Data are reported for the quarter in which the activity occurred. The activity being reported could occur in one or more quarters after the quarter in which the individual received a RESEA.

Individuals are counted only once in any single service category for each RESEA as either referred and reporting to reemployment services and/or training.

Enter the number of scheduled RESEAs from Item #1 that were later identified as being incorrectly selected or ineligible for RESEA participation before the initial RESEA meeting occurs.
