INTRODUCTION

A. Purpose
States report Unemployment Insurance (UI) data to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) on
a monthly and quarterly basis under the Unemployment Insurance Required Reports (UIRR)
system. The UIRR data are used for gathering economic statistics, allocating UI
administrative funding, measuring state performance, and accounting for fund utilization.
Therefore, it is important that states report UIRR data accurately and uniformly. The purpose
of the Data Validation (DV) program is to verify the accuracy of the UIRR data. This
handbook covers the part of the program that validates benefits data.
In the DV program, the states validate their data and report the results of the validation to the
Employment Training Administration (ETA). This handbook provides general instructions
on how to validate the data as well as individual instructions for each state (referred to as
Module 3). States use the DV software provided by DOL to conduct the validation and submit
results.
Table A shows the general types of UIRR data to be validated, the Federal ETA reports on
which the data appear, and the areas where the data are used.
States are required to validate reported data every third year, except for data elements used
to calculate Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measures, which must be
validated annually. Items that do not pass validation must be revalidated the following year.
The “validation year” coincides with the State Quality Service Plan (SQSP) performance
year. It covers data of any reporting period during the twelve months beginning April 1 and
ending March 31. Results must be submitted to the National Office by June 10, which
allows sufficient time for data validation results to be included in the SQSP process. States
that fail DV or do not submit their DV results by the established deadline must address these
deficiencies through the SQSP. If states modernize their UI benefits data management
system, partially, completely, or in any way that impacts reporting and therefore data
validation, states must validate every benefits population the following year once the new
system is deployed or goes live. This requirement includes populations with passing scores
that were previously valid for three years and not yet due for validation. Similarly, if a state
does not submit the underlying benchmark populations (Benefits Populations 5 and 8; Tax
Populations 3 and 5) to complete Module 4 within the three year validation cycle, the scores
will also not be considered valid until these are transmitted. If a state revises an ETA UI
Required Report for the same time period it used for data validation, the data validation
score will not be considered valid until the state resubmits the results using the revised
report counts.

The ETA 539, Weekly Claims Activity Report, is not validated. However, states are strongly encouraged to
compare the total claims reported on the 539 to the 5159 report for the same period to determine whether the
counts reported are the same or within +2%. If the counts differ by more than +2%, then the state should
investigate and advise its Federal regional office of its findings and what it is doing to reconcile the
differences.

INTRODUCTION

B. Data Errors Identified Through Validation
Systematic and random errors are the two major types of data errors that can occur in Federal
UIRR reports. Systematic errors involve faulty design or execution of reporting programs.
Random errors involve judgment and input errors. Reporting system errors are always
systematic, while errors stemming from human judgment can be either systematic or random.
The DV program attempts to identify both types of errors.
Systematic errors are addressed through validation of the reporting programs that states use
to create Federal reports. These errors tend to be constant and fall into one of three categories:
1) too many transactions (overcounts), 2) too few transactions (undercounts), or 3)
transactions which are misclassified. Systematic human errors occur when staff is using
incorrect definitions or procedures. For example, a reporting unit may establish its own
definition for a data element that deliberately or inadvertently conflicts with the Federal
definition. Systematic errors are the most serious because they occur repeatedly, but they are
the easiest to detect and correct. In most cases systematic errors do not need to be assessed
very frequently.
Random errors are addressed through validation of a random sample of transactions by
evaluating the accuracy of data elements stored in the database. Random errors tend to be
sporadic, and are caused by human judgment. They fall into one of three categories: 1) input
errors, 2) judgment errors (as in nonmonetary determinations, status determinations, and
appeals), or 3) inconsistent application of state definitions or procedures.
Consistent and accurate reporting requires both good systems and good data, hence the
validation objective has not been achieved unless systems and data have both been validated.
C. Data Sources for Federal Reporting and Validation
Some states produce the Federal reports directly from the state database. Computer programs
scan the entire database to select, classify, and count transactions. Other states produce a
database extract or flat file as transactions are processed, essentially keeping a running count
of items to be tabulated for the Federal reports. Still other states use a combination of these
methods. Although states use different methods to prepare Federal reports, the validation
approach is the same in all cases: states support their reported figures by reconstructing the
reported transactions.
The validation methodology is flexible in accommodating the different systems that states
use. However, validation is most effective when validation data are extracted directly from
the state benefits database. For cost reasons and to minimize changes in data over time, some
states prefer to use daily, weekly, or monthly flat files instead. When flat files are used, system
errors may occur: reportable transactions may be improperly excluded from the master file,
or the flat file may contain corrupt data. The only way to identify these problems is to
independently reconstruct or query the master database. States that prepare validation files
from the same files used to produce the UIRR, rather than directly from the database, must
ensure that these files contain all the appropriate transactions by recreating the logic used to
produce the Federal reports.

INTRODUCTION

D. Basic Validation Approach
The data validation methodology outlined in this handbook minimizes validation time and
burden. The methodology is highly automated and complements existing quality components
(such as the nonmonetary determinations quality review). The methodology involves
reconstructing the count of transactions reported during a specific period for each Federal
report item to be validated. The validation specifications for reconstructing reported
transactions provide a blueprint of the criteria that states should use in their Federal reporting.
This handbook therefore has two uses:
1.

To provide technical assistance with Federal reporting requirements;

2.

To guide states through the data validation process.

The reconstruction files provide an audit trail to support the counts and classifications of
reported transactions. Validation of reported counts (referred to as report validation or RV)
is accomplished when all the transactions reported for a Federal report item have been
reconstructed. For example, if a state reports 5,000 first payments during a month, then the
state must produce a file containing the 5,000 first payments, including relevant characteristics
of the transaction such as the Social Security Number (SSN), the program type code, and the
mail date. The DV software then sorts the payments into groups that are used to reconstruct
the counts for the appropriate items of the ETA 5159 and 9050 reports. Report validation is
discussed in detail in Module 1.
The DV software also draws samples of transactions from the reconstruction file and displays
them on worksheets to facilitate their validation. Validators then subject the sampled
transactions to a series of logic tests (state-specific “rules” described in Module 3), using the
most definitive source documentation (such as database screens) to test the accuracy of the
data. This validation of the characteristics of reported transactions is known as Data Element
Validation (DEV) and is described in detail in Module 2.
Data that passes RV and DEV are considered accurate.
E. Reconstructing Federal Report Items
Given that there are 11 UIRR benefits reports to validate, with over 1,000 report items,
validation could be a laborious process to both design and implement. A single UI benefits
transaction--for example, a payment, a nonmonetary determination, or an appeal--can be
reported in numerous Federal report items. As an example, a first payment for a week of total
unemployment, for an interstate claim with both UI and Unemployment Compensation for
Federal Employees (UCFE) wages, is reported in eight items of the ETA 5159 report as well
as in one item of the ETA 9050 report.
A general principle of the validation design is to streamline the validation process as much as
possible. Transactions are analyzed only once, even if they appear in multiple items. The
streamlining is accomplished by classifying the transactions into mutually exclusive groups

(referred to as populations), which match to one or more items on the Federal reports.
Specifically, there are 16 benefits populations, which are composed of 410 mutually exclusive
groups (referred to as subpopulations). Each subpopulation represents a unique set of data
elements or characteristics.
The first column of Table C lists each population. The second column identifies the ETA
reports on which the transactions in each population are reported.
The Reconstruction Period (third column) describes the time parameter that the programmer
uses to select the transactions to be extracted. When the reports are monthly, the
reconstruction can be for a single month, to match the reported counts. When the reports are
quarterly, or both monthly and quarterly reports are produced for the same type of transaction
(for example, claims are reported on both the ETA 5159, a monthly report, and the ETA 218,
a quarterly report), the reconstruction is for a quarter.
The Number of Report Items (fourth column) indicates the total number of items on each ETA
report that is validated by each transaction population. The Number of Subpopulations (fifth
column) refers to the number of subpopulations into which the population is divided for
validation purposes.

When populations relate to both monthly and quarterly reports (populations 2, 3, 4), it is preferable to
reconstruct all the counts for a quarter. It is easier and more accurate to add three monthly counts to
create a quarterly total for monthly reports, than to rerun the quarterly reports to obtain a month of data.
The software is not designed to validate nor is it a Federal requirement to validate extended benefits and
disaster unemployment.

F. Validation Techniques and Sources
Validating the counts of specific types of transactions, rather than validating report items,
eliminates duplication of effort when the identical transaction is reported in more than one
report item. In addition, the DV software processes validation files and generates all
validation worksheets and reports.
Table D summarizes the DEV techniques used for each population of transactions. The
Review History Screens column indicates when the validator will refer to computer-generated
history screens to make an assessment of error. The Review Source Documentation column
indicates when the validator will refer to source documentation, such as adjudication notes,
adjudication notices, appeals decisions, or overpayment records. This documentation may
come from paper files, microfilm, computer records, or images. Source documentation is
important for identifying human errors involving interpretational and input errors.

INTRODUCTION

G. Handbook Overview
To achieve the data validation goal of determining the extent to which reported data are
accurate and meet Federal reporting definitions, four separate validation processes or modules
have been developed. These modules include various tools to validate the quantity and quality
of Federally reported data. The modules and accompanying appendices are outlined below.


Module 1—Report Validation (RV)

Module 1 describes the procedures for validating that the state reporting programs that
create the Federal reports are functioning correctly, i.e., that transactions are being
counted accurately. The DV software processes the validation files and generates the
reconstructed counts for Federal report items from the subpopulations. It then compares
the reconstructed counts with the corresponding counts reported by the state. If
transactions in the validation file were rejected by the software as invalid, the validator
needs to determine whether it is necessary to regenerate or reload the validation files. If
the reconstructed and reported counts don’t differ by more than the tolerance rates
established, then it is assumed that the state’s reporting system is accurate.


Module 2—Data Element Validation (DEV)

Module 2 validates that the data elements (transactions) used in report validation, were
classified correctly according the Federal definitions. While RV verifies that all
transactions were counted, DEV verifies that the right transactions were counted. The
validator examines samples of transactions to determine their accuracy. The software
produces an automated worksheet containing the relevant data elements for each selected
transaction. The validator reviews the sampled transactions using the state-specific data
values and instructions in Module 3, which point the validator to the appropriate
supporting documentation (benefits history screens and/or paper files). The validator
uses this documentation to validate that the data elements are accurate and that the
transactions are assigned to the appropriate subpopulations.


Module 3—State-Specific Data Element Validation Instructions

Only an introduction of Module 3 is included in this handbook. Each state maintains its
module and is responsible for updating and revising it. Module 3 provides the actual statespecific set of instructions that the validator uses in data element validation. It lists the
state system screens or documents that contain the data to be validated as well as the rules
to validate them. State definitions or procedures which impact validation are also
documented to help state and Federal staffs interpret the validation results and improve
procedures.


Module 4—Quality Sample Validation

Module 4 has instructions for verifying that the samples selected for nonmonetary
determinations and lower authority appeals quality have been randomly selected from the
correctly defined universe. It is important to review and check the quality sampling
UI DV HANDBOOK, BENEFITS

10

INTRODUCTION

methodology used by the state. The quality reviews are a key indicator of the state’s
performance, and the results must be statistically valid.


Appendix A—RV Subpopulation Specification

Appendix A includes specifications for each subpopulation by population. This appendix
should be used when constructing the DV extract files. It indicates the data values that
are valid for each type of transaction or subpopulation. It also maps each subpopulation
to the corresponding Federal report line item(s) and vice versa.


Appendix B—DEV Sampling Specifications

Appendix B includes the specifications used by the software to select samples of
transactions for data element validation.


Appendix C—LADT

Appendix C contains instructions on how to validate Interstate Filed from Agent records
received through the Liable Agent Data Transfer (LADT) System for Populations 1 and
3.


Appendix D - CWC Technical Guidance

Appendix D provides instructions on how to validate combined wage claims (CWC) in
Populations 3 and 4.

H. Overview of the Data Validation Methodology
This section gives an example, using Population 4, of the steps to follow in the data validation
process. Each step references the handbook module in which that aspect of the data validation
process is described. Readers should review the referenced modules for further information.
Step 1 Generate and submit ETA report
The state generates and submits ETA 9050. The report item shown in the upper-left-hand
corner represents the count of UI intrastate first payments that the state reported on the
ETA 9050.
Step 2 Generate extract file
The state extracts detailed records of transactions from their benefits database into a text
formatted file, following the specifications on the record layout for Population 4 and the
definitions in Module 3. (See Module 1, Module 3, and ETA Operations Guide 411)
Step 3 Load extract file into software
The extract file generated in Step 2 is loaded into the DV software. The software rejects
invalid transactions. The validator reviews the rejected records, and if necessary, fixes the
errors in extract file and reloads it into the software. This process is repeated until the
extract file has no errors. (See Module 1)
UI DV HANDBOOK, BENEFITS

11

SEPTEMBER 2019

INTRODUCTION

Step 4 Validate counts (Report Validation)
The DV software compares the reconstructed counts from the validation extract file with
the reported counts. (See Module 1)
Step 5 Generate samples
The DV software selects a sample of transactions (following the sample specifications in
Appendix B) and displays them on a sample validation screen. (See Module 2)
Step 6 Refer to Module 3
The validator looks at the first field of the first record displayed on the first row of the
sample validation screen. The column header for that field refers to the step in Module 3
that the validator needs to validate the field, in this case, Step 10A.
Step 7 Lookup screen in state database
The validator calls up or prints out the Claims Inquiry screen from the state’s benefits
database. (See Modules 2 and 3.)
Step 8 Validate samples (Data Element Validation)
The validator follows the instructions in the rules for Step 10A (First Payments). The
rules for Step 10A require the validator to: 1) check for a payment indicator (payment
code is 07 or 08); 2) check that the week reported as the first compensable week was not
a waiting week (payment code is not 02, 03, or 04); and 3) check that the week was the
first week in the benefit year after the waiting week without excessive earnings (earnings
for the week ending 2/10 are less than or equal to 120 percent of the WBA and thus not
excessive, and there are no earlier weeks other than the waiting week present on the
payments history file). The validator then places a check on the worksheet to show that
the transaction was a valid first payment. (See Modules 2 and 3)
Steps 6 through 8 are repeated for each field in the first record, and the rest of the sampled
records are validated in the same manner. All samples for the population should be
validated following the same steps.
Step 9 Submit results to the National Office
After all samples are completed, the validator accesses the Population Scores screen and
submits the validation results to the National Office.
Step 10 Save validation documents
After results are submitted to the National Office, states should save all documents
supporting their validation results and retain them for three years. This includes all
sample validation worksheets, any notes documenting errors, extract files, a reference to
the version of Module 3 that was used, screen shots of the submitted RV results and any
other supporting documentation (such as benefit system screen shots and/or paper files).

B. Methodology
Step 1

Produce Report Validation Extract Files

State staff produces 16 report validation extract files based on the record layout
specifications in the ETA Operations Guide 411. There is one extract file for each of the
16 populations of UI benefit transactions and statuses (such as payments, claims, age of
overpayments, etc.). Claims are divided into two separate populations: Populations 3 and
3a. See Figure 1.1 for an example of a record layout.
The extract file type is ASCII, comma delimited. Data must be in the order listed in the
record layouts. The Data Type/Format column on the layouts indicates the generic values
for text fields.
The generic values must be followed by a dash and the state-specific value. See Figure
1.2 for an example of a sample extract file.
It is best to generate the validation files at the same time as the Federal reporting programs
to eliminate differences in data caused by changes in the database over time. Because the
UIRR reports provide a snapshot of transactions during a specific time period, the
validation is intended to verify the transaction data at the time the report was run, even if
data later changed. It is less efficient to compare a set of transactions captured at one
point in time with a set of transactions captured at another point in time, because many
discrepancies will represent legitimate changes in a dynamic database, rather than
systems errors or faulty data. For example, claims can legitimately change from interstate
to intrastate, and program type can change from Federal to combined UI-Federal if UI
wages are added to a claim.
Step 2

Import Extract Files

The extract files are imported into the DV software following the instructions in the ETA
Operations Guide 411. The software processes each extract file and builds the
subpopulations as specified in Appendix A. For example, Population 4, payments and
weeks compensated, includes all payments made during the month. The software assigns
each transaction record to a subpopulation based on unique combinations of payments
and weeks compensated, including characteristics such as first payments, continued
payments, partial payments, and program type. See Figure 1.3 for a sample of a validation
file imported into the software.
Step 3

Examine Error Reports and Reload Extracts if Necessary

When an extract file is loaded, the DV software reads each record to ensure that values
in all fields are valid. Any records with invalid data, missing mandatory data, or records
which appear to be duplicates are rejected and an error report is produced. The record
layouts in the ETA Operations Guide 411 specify the valid data formats for each field,
and the population tables in Appendix A specify the valid values. The software uses the

REPORT VALIDATION

MODULE 1

duplicate detection criteria in the ETA Operations Guide 411 to reject invalid duplicate
records.
After reviewing any error reports that are generated, state staff should determine if the
extracts are correct or whether they need to be regenerated or reformatted and reloaded
into the DV software. This process should be repeated until the extract files have no
errors.
See Figure 1.4 for an example of an error report.
Step 4

Report Validation

The DV software automatically retrieves and loads the reported counts from the national
UI reports database. The software then calculates the difference between the validation
and reported counts and calculates an error rate. The software counts all transactions
within a subpopulation and combines subpopulations into corresponding report cells. The
validation counts are compared with the reported counts, and the reported counts are
considered valid if they fall within the established tolerance (+1% for groups that include
data used in Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measures and +2% for
all other groups).
Data used for the GPRA measure for timely first payments are validated in Populations 4
and data used for Detection of Overpayments are validated in Population 12. The groups
including these data are held to a +1% tolerance and the populations must be validated
annually. Benefits DV validates also data used in UI Performs Core Measures for first
payment timeliness, nonmonetary determinations timeliness, average age of pending
appeals, and detection of overpayments, as well as measures of payment and appeals
timeliness used to implement UI Secretary’s Standards These data are held to the +2%
tolerance for report validation, except for the data used for the Secretary’s Standard
measure for 14/21-day timeliness of intrastate payments because it is also used as the
GPRA measure.
The software then produces a summary that provides error rates for groups of report cells
and a pass or fail score for the population.

DATA ELEMENT VALIDATION

DATA ELEMENT VALIDATION

MODULE 2

A. Purpose
One of the goals of the validation process is to determine how accurately individual benefits
transactions have been reported on the UIRR. After the report validation files have been built
and each transaction has been assigned to a specific subpopulation, the key question is whether
the data in each transaction record are correct. For example, if a claim is classified as UCFE,
do the base period wages match the Federal criteria for a UCFE claim? This process is called
data element validation (DEV). In DEV, each data element used in the report validation file
is closely examined in a small sample of transactions.
Data element validation uses random and supplemental samples to address different types of
Federal report errors and different requirements for accuracy. Samples were designed
considering the importance of the type of transaction and the type of error prone to be found
in certain data. The samples enable the validator to find systems logic and data quality errors.
There are four types of samples used in the DV program:
1.

Random samples

Supplemental Samples:
2.

Missing subpopulations samples

3.

Outliers Samples

4.

Minimum samples

Each of these sample types is described in detail in Appendix B.
In particular, random samples are used for the most important performance and reporting data
elements. Depending on the type of random sample, the DV software selects either 100 or
200 cases at random to be validated. Validators may need to review only the first 30 or 60
cases in a random sample if the findings show that the error rate is conclusively below five
percent (zero errors) or above five percent.
B. Methodology
Step 1

Software generates samples

After extract files are loaded into the DV software, the software automatically selects
samples and displays the sampled data on a screen.
Step 2
Print sample worksheets
From the sample validation screen, the validator can print worksheets for each record
which contain all data to be validated. These worksheets facilitate the validation process
and provide an audit trail.

UI DV HANDBOOK, BENEFITS

2.1

SEPTEMBER 2019

DATA ELEMENT VALIDATION

Step 3

MODULE 2

Data Element Validation

To validate the sample, the validator goes to the Sample Validation screen and validates
each field in each record using the instructions on Module 3 for that particular field. A
record passes validation if all its fields pass. A random sample passes validation if the
sample results indicate that no more than five percent of the records from which the
sample was drawn contain errors.
On the Sample Validation screen, records are displayed in rows. Columns headers display
the step in Module 3 that the validator has to follow to validate each field. Fields have a
drop-down menu next to them with the values “PASS” and “FAIL”, so that the validator
can indicate whether the value in that field passes validation. In some instances, there will
not be a value for a particular data element. This can happen whenever a data element is
either optional or not applicable. The validator should select “PASS” when there is no
value in a field because a data element is either not applicable or optional. At the bottom
of the sample screen a row displays the total number of errors and the sample’s score.
Refer to the ETA Operations Guide 411 for other functionality available from the Sample
Validation screen.
To validate a field, the state validator compares it to the source documentation to verify
that it agrees with state practices and Federal definitions. Module 3 provides statespecific instructions on how to validate each data element using information from the
state’s database or paper files. This validation verifies that the state’s reporting programs
are functioning correctly, and benefits data are being classified correctly.
Although the validation instructions in Module 3 are state-specific, all states use the same
Federal reporting guidelines to validate data. This ensures uniform and consistent
validation and reporting practices across all states. The instructions include sections for
recording comments and definitional problems that enable states to track Federal report
and data validation issues. This is important for documenting issues that may affect
validation in the future, and for explaining inconsistencies.
Each random sample is scored separately and their results need to be submitted to the
National Office as part of determining whether a population passes or fails. Supplemental
samples, however, are only used as diagnostic tools and the results are not submitted.
Nevertheless, if errors are found in the supplemental samples, validators need to
investigate these and correct their systems accordingly.
Step 4

DEV Reports

The software generates DEV reports that summarize the type and number of errors found
for each sample. It also displays the error rate and the scores for random samples. This
report is not submitted to the National Office. States are advised to print this report for
their records.

UI DV HANDBOOK, BENEFITS

2.2

SEPTEMBER 2019

DATA ELEMENT VALIDATION

Step 5

MODULE 2

Send validation results to National Office

After all random sample validations in a population are completed, the validator can
submit results along with RV results to the National Office through the Population Scores
screen in the software (refer to the ETA Operations Guide 411 for details). If a population
fails RV or DEV, the population must be revalidated within a year. When a population
passes validation, results are considered valid for three years, except for Populations 4
and 12, which contain GPRA elements and need to be validated every year. States that
make changes to their reporting system need to conduct data validation of the affected
populations as soon as possible after changes are implemented.
Step 6

Correcting Validation Errors

If validation identifies reporting errors, the state should correct the errors as soon as
possible. To document the steps required to correct errors and the timetable for
completion, the state must address the problem to its ETA Regional Office in accordance
with the annual State Quality Service Plan (SQSP). This will be in either the SQSP
narrative or as part of a DV Corrective Action Plan (CAP). The narrative or CAP should
contain the following information on every validated report element that failed validation:


Report item(s) in error.



Magnitude of error found.



Status/Plan/Schedule for correcting. Note: If reporting errors were corrected in
the course of the first validation, the report should simply note “corrected during
validation.” (Validation of the affected transactions should occur immediately
after these corrections have been made.)

Timing of CAP or Narrative. The plan for correcting the errors should be submitted
within the established deadlines of the SQSP.
Revalidation. Populations that failed any validation item must be revalidated the
following year. A revalidation should confirm the success of the corrective action or if
the state has not completed corrective action, identify the current extent of the error.
Errors Discovered Outside the Validation Process. During the validation process, errors
in reporting may be identified that are outside the scope of the validation program. Such
errors should be included in the comments section of the state’s Data Validation
Summary/Analytical Report and included in the CAP or narrative if warranted. A CAP is
also required for any state that fails to conduct data validation.

C. Overview of Module 2
Table 2.1 and Figure 2.1 show an overview of Module 2 methodology.
Table 2.1
Overview of Module 2
Step

Step Description

1

The validator uses the column headers on the sample screen to locate steps in Module 3. Fields for data
that are not relevant to a particular transaction will be blank, and the validator should click ‘PASS’.
In Figure 2.1, for the first sampled transaction the value of the fifth data element is UI-0. The column
header directs the validator to go to Step 4 in Module 3.

2

The validator turns to the corresponding step in Module 3. Steps can have different sub steps and each
sub step can have one or more rules listed. In addition, each step includes the “Federal Definition” from
the ETA 401; a “Definitional Issues” section that is used to document instances where state regulations
or practices conflict with the Federal definitions; and a “State Comments” section where validator can
write comments that may be helpful for future validations.
In Figure 2.1, the validator looks up Step 4 and then selects the sub step that corresponds to the field
value. In this case, the value is “UI”, so the corresponding sub step is A.

3

The validator locates each source “Document” listed under each rule. The document is the source used
to compare the data on the sample screen with the data residing in the state database or state files.
When all of the data elements have been included on the sample screen it will not be necessary to pull
any additional documents. In other instances, it will be necessary for the validator to refer to screens
and/or case files.

4

The validator determines if the data element being validated passes the “Validation” using the required
“Documents”.

5

If the validated element fails any of the rules for the step, then the validator clicks the ‘FAIL’ check box
on the worksheet for that element.

6

If the data element passes all of the rules, then the validator clicks the ‘PASS’ check box on the
worksheet for that step.

7

The validator proceeds through each of the steps for each sampled transaction in the same manner.
After each of the steps has been validated for every sampled transaction required, the software
calculates the error rate and score for the sample.

DATA ELEMENT VALIDATION
STATE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

DEV STATE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

MODULE 3

A. Purpose
Module 3 provides the actual state-specific set of instructions that the validator uses in data
element validation. It lists the state system screens or documents that contain the data to be
validated as well as the rules to validate them. State definitions or procedures which impact
validation are also documented to help state and Federal staffs interpret the validation results
and improve procedures.
Module 3 is not included in this handbook. It is maintained in a database that contains data
for every state. Since these instructions are state-specific, each state is responsible for
reviewing and updating its Module 3 regularly. Every year between April 10 and June 10
states need to certify that they have reviewed their Module 3 and that it’s up to date.
B. Methodology
Table 3.1 outlines each step and substep in the Module 3 that validators need to follow for
validating samples. Table 3.2 indicates the combination of validation steps required to
validate each population. The column headers on the sample screens in the DV software
display the steps that are used to validate each data element, i.e., the values for the relevant
field of each sampled record.
The validator begins the validation by looking at the first record (first row) on the Sample
Validation screen for the given population and then locates the first step number (e.g., Step 1)
listed in the first column header of the screen. The validator then turns to this step number in
Module 3. If there are substeps, and the substep is not specified in the column heading, the
first page for the step number in Module 3 will direct the validator to the appropriate substep
(e.g., 4A – UI program type, 4B – UCFE program type, 4C – UCX Program type). After
following all of the rules listed for this step, the validator should proceed to the second column
on the worksheet and locate the next step to be validated in Module 3. The validator continues
validating each step listed on the worksheet for each element in the record and then continues
to the next sampled record. This process is repeated until all necessary records are validated.

The inclusion of state-specific information in this module is not to be deemed a
finding that such information is in compliance with Federal reporting data
definitions.

QUALITY SAMPLE VALIDATION

QUALITY SAMPLE VALIDATION

MODULE 4

A. Purpose
This module provides instructions for validating Benefits Timeliness and Quality (BTQ)
nonmonetary determinations samples--which comprise separate samples for separations and
non-separations--and lower authority appeals samples. These samples can be validated for any
quarter that falls within the validation year. They must be validated every three years, unless
the size of the universe from which the sample is drawn is not within  2% of the ETA 9052
or the ETA 9054L benchmark counts. In such case, the validation must be repeated the
following year.
A properly selected sample is: (a) of the correct size, (b) randomly selected, and (c) drawn
from the correct universe. The validator must check the size and randomness of the sample
as soon as the sample is drawn because the quality review can only proceed for a randomly
drawn sample of the correct size. If the sample is not of the correct size or is not random, a
new sample must be selected, as many times as needed, until the draw is random and of the
right size. The universe should be checked as soon as the report counts are available.
State staff needs to validate separations and non-separations samples separately for
nonmonetary determinations, and the lower authority sample. Nonmonetary determinations
counts are validated in Population 5 and lower authority appeals counts in Population 8, so it
is desirable to validate these two populations before using the ETA 9052 and ETA 9054L
counts as benchmark when validating the universes of the samples.
B. Sample Size
Sample sizes are set based on the volume of nonmonetary determinations and lower authority
appeals decisions reported in the preceding calendar year.
Sample sizes for nonmonetary determinations are based on total counts reported on the ETA
9052 report, and are of size 100 (50 separations and 50 non-separations) for states that reported
100,000 or more nonmonetary determinations and 60 (30 separations and 30 non-separations)
for states that reported less than 100,000. However, the sample size for nonmonetary
determinations may be increased in any given quarter to make up for cases discarded in the
previous quarter. For example, if the assigned sample size is 100, and in the previous quarter
2 non-separation cases could not be reviewed because the case material was not found, the
sample size for the quarter must be equal to 102: 50 separations and 52 non-separations.
Sample sizes for lower authority appeals decisions are based on total counts reported on the
ETA 9054L report, and are of size 40 for states that reported 40,000 or more appeals and 20
for states that reported less than 40,000.
If a sample is determined to have an incorrect sample size, it must be drawn again with the
correct size before the quality review can proceed.

QUALITY SAMPLE VALIDATION

MODULE 4

C. Sample Selection
Different methods can be used to select the quality samples. For example, states can use
balanced systematic selection (as described in Handbook 301, Appendix A, pp. A-4 to A-6),
systematic random sampling, or use a utility that randomizes the file.
In systematic random sampling, a starting point is selected at random from the sampling
universe, and thereafter observations are selected at regular intervals. The size of the
population is divided by the desired size of the sample and rounded to the nearest integer to
get the sample interval i, which is then used to select every ith observation from a file
containing all records in the universe. For example, if a sample of 30 cases is wanted from a
universe of 300 records, then the sample interval is 300 ÷ 30 = 10, and every 10th observation
is selected. To determine the starting point--i.e., the first case to be selected--the validator
multiplies a random number between 0 and 1 (supplied by the National Office or generated
by a random number generator utility) by the sample interval, and rounds it to the closest
integer. In the previous example, if the random number is 0.2354, then 0.2354 x 10 = 2.354
≈ 2, so the observations selected are 2, 12, 22, etc.
To validate that the sample selection was random when systematic random sampling is used,
the validator needs to check that the sample interval and the starting point were calculated
correctly, and that the observations were selected accordingly.
When a sampling utility is used, usually the sample frame is randomized and the first x
observations are selected, where x is the desired size of the sample (in the previous example,
the first 30 observations). This method is somewhat more difficult to validate because it could
involve reviewing the sample against the source file, or reviewing the utility specifications.
If the sample selection procedure is random, the sample can proceed to the quality review.
Otherwise, the sampling procedure must be fixed and the sample redrawn until it is randomly
selected.
D. Sample Universe
The number of observations in the sample universe for nonmonetary determinations must be
equal to the sum of all total counts in the ETA 9052 for the reporting quarter being validated.
Before these numbers are compared, Populations 5 should pass report validation to make sure
that the reported counts are accurate. If the number of observations in the universe is within
 2% of the reported counts, then the sample universe passes validation, and results are valid
for three years. Otherwise, the state needs to revalidate the sample the following year.
The number of observations in the sample universe for lower authority appeals must be equal
to the sum of all total counts in the ETA 9054L for the reporting quarter being validated.
Before these numbers are compared, Populations 8 should pass report validation to make sure
that the reported counts are accurate. If the number of observations in the universe is within
 2% of the reported counts, then universe passes validation, and results are valid for three
years. Otherwise, the state needs to revalidate the sample the following year.

QUALITY SAMPLE VALIDATION

MODULE 4

If ETA 9052 or ETA 9054L reported counts are not available when the quality samples are
drawn, comparing the sampling universe with the reported counts can be performed later to
ensure that the validation process does not delay the quality review process.
E. Sample Validation
To validate the quality samples, the validator must complete the following steps:
Step 1

Select reporting period


Step 2

Validate the sample size




Step 3

Obtain a copy of the quality sample for the reporting period you want to validate
and for the previous quarter. Verify that all transactions in the universe are for the
indicated reporting period and that the reporting period to be validated falls within
April 1st of the previous year and March 31st of the current year.

Check that the sample size is in accordance with the number of transactions
reported in the previous year. For nonmonetary determinations the sample size
should be 100 (50 separations and 50 non-separations, plus the make-up cases, if
any) for states that reported 100,000 or more nonmonetary determinations and 60
(30 separations and 30 non-separations, plus make-up cases) for states that
reported less than 100,000 nonmonetary determinations. For lower authority
appeals, the sample size should be 40 for states that reported 40,000 or more
appeals and 20 for less than 40,000.
If the sample size is not correct, the sample fails validation. Do not proceed any
further. The sample needs to be redrawn and validated again until it is of the correct
size.
Validate that the sample selection was random


Determine which method was used to select the sample.
If balanced systematic selection was used, verify that all steps were followed as described
in Handbook 301, Appendix A, pp. A-4 to A-6. (this instruction applies to both
nonmonetary determinations and lower authority appeals). Handbook 301 also references
the PICKNUMB sampling routine and refers the reader to Appendix A of Handbook 401.
The current (2007) version of Handbook 401 no longer contains Appendix A. Readers
needing guidance with the PICKNUMB program should contact the National Office or
obtain versions of Handbook 401 dated 2000 or earlier.

If systematic random sampling was used, then:

Obtain a copy of the sample universe.

Check that the sample interval used to select the sample is equal to the number of
cases in the universe divided by the sample size.


Check that the proper subsequent cases were selected. For example, if the random
start was 10 and the interval was every 40th case, check that 50, 90, 130, and so on
were selected.
If a sampling utility was used, then:

If the sample was drawn from a randomized file, determine how the file was
randomized and print out the file to check that it was not ordered by date, local
office number, or other nonrandom means. Compare this order with the way the
file was ordered prior to randomization to ensure that the file was randomly
reordered.

Check that the first n cases were selected where n equals the sample size.

If it is determined that the sample was not randomly selected, the sample fails the
validation. Do not proceed any further. The sample needs to be redrawn and validated
again until it is randomly selected.
Step 4

Validate the sample universe

This step should be performed when the ETA 9052 or the ETA 9054L counts are
available.

For nonmonetary determinations, check that the total number of determinations in
the sample universe is equal to or within ± 2% of the sum of all the total counts
reported on the ETA 9052 for the quarter being validated. This should be validated
after Population 5 passes report validation.

For lower authority appeals, check that the total number of appeals in the sample
universe is equal to or within ± 2% of the sum of all the total counts reported on
the ETA 9054L for the quarter being validated. This should be validated after
Population 8 passes report validation.
Whereas the 9054 counts include both monetary and nonmonetary appeals, the
9057 sample universe may include only nonmonetary appeals. Further, this
universe should not include appeals decided but for which no hearing materials
were available to review--decisions representing withdrawals, dismissals, and noshows. If the universe was built by excluding monetary and non-reviewable
appeals, then it should be smaller than the count reported on the ETA 9054L
reports. To compare this universe with the 9054L count, add in the number of
excluded appeals as in the example below. If the sum of the two groups is within
2% of the count reported on the ETA 9054L report for the quarter, then the
universe passes validation. Alternatively, the sample cases may be drawn from a

SUBPOPULATION SPECIFICATIONS

APPENDIX A

A. Purpose
This appendix includes specifications for each subpopulation by population. The software
uses these specifications to parse records in the extract files into subpopulations that are then
used to reconstruct counts for specific report cells. This appendix also maps each
subpopulation to the corresponding Federal report line item(s) and vice versa.
The specifications in this appendix should be used in conjunction with the record layouts (in
ETA Operations Guide 411) and the state’s Module 3 when constructing the DV extract files.
They indicate the data values that are valid for each type of transaction or subpopulation. Any
transaction included in a population extract file must fit the description of one subpopulation
in the population; otherwise, it will be rejected by the software as an invalid transaction.

B. Subpopulation Specifications by Population
The following pages contain the subpopulation specifications tables, mapping tables of
report cells to subpopulations, and notes for each of the 16 benefits populations.
In the specification tables, for each subpopulation, the corresponding report cells are
indicated, and the possible values for all fields in a transaction. The fields can have a
specific text value or a format requirement. The following describes the different kinds of
field formats.
1.

Text. These fields must contain text values, such as “UI”, “Intrastate”, “VL”, etc.
The allowable text values for each field are listed in the record layout. The text
values must be followed by a dash and the corresponding state-specific value, for
example, “UI-503”, where 503 is a state code used for UI claims.

2.

Required. These fields cannot be blank. For example, they may be mandatory
dates or dollar values.

3.

Optional (these fields are shaded in gray). The software does not check these
fields. Any values can be entered in these fields or they can be left blank.

4.

Must be blank. These are text or date fields that must be left blank. The software
will reject any records with values in any field that must be left blank (such as
monetary date 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 that should have the value “0” or
be left blank. The software will reject any records where these fields have a value
other than “0” or blank.

The column headers on the specifications tables, indicate the field and the related step and
rule in Module 3. When constructing the extract file, Federal definitions for some fields can
be found in Module 3 using these references, as well as valid state codes. For most steps, Rule
1 asks the state extract file programmer to build this element by accessing an indicator in the

A.1

SUBPOPULATION SPECIFICATIONS

APPENDIX A

state system, and instructs the validator to check for this indicator during data element
validation. However, if a state does not maintain the indicator specified in Rule 1, then the
programmer must review the other rules in that step in order to develop the required validation
logic to build the element.
For each map of report cells to subpopulations, the subpopulations are referred only by the
number and not the population to be concise. For example, subpopulation 5.12 is referred to
only as 12 in the Population 5 map table.
Notes for each population contain relevant information that states should referred to when
constructing their extract files.

A) Column 2(Step 1A), Week Claimed, is the benefit week ending (BWE) date of the week
being claimed.
B) Column 7 (Step 11), Date Week Claimed, is the date that the state processes the weekly
certification.
2.

Column 8 (Step 11, Rule 2) is an optional field for the extract file. It is included to ensure
that the week claimed was valid based on monetary entitlement. Programmers may be able
to populate this field with data to show that the week was countable by including data that
shows that the claim was eligible (or pending), that an appeal of an ineligible monetary had
been filed and not decided or that the appeal period for an ineligible monetary determination
had not expired.
Regardless of whether programmers provide data in Column 8, validators will check this
information for sampled cases as part of the data element validation process.

3. Subpopulations 1.7 – 1.9: This information comes from the LADT claimant records.
Instructions for including data from these records for populations 1 and 3 can be found

APPENDIX A

Population 2 Notes
1.

This population validates two reports for different time periods:
A) The 5159 which is a monthly report, and
B) The 218 which is a quarterly report
Validate a quarter by taking all records that should have been reported in ETA 218 for a given
quarter and the corresponding records of three 5159 monthly reports for that same reporting
period. There may be some dynamic data (values that change during the time period).
Therefore, the reported counts and validation counts may not match exactly.

2.

Columns 6 and 7 (Step 7), WBA and MBA: Use the final MBA and WBA on the claim for
this population.

3.

Column 8 (Step 9A), Actual Weeks of Duration: Divide the final MBA by the final WBA
and round to the next highest whole number. The number of actual weeks of duration is
unrelated to the number of weeks compensated. If the claim included partial payments,
there will be more weeks compensated than actual weeks of duration. For example, if the
final MBA is $5,200.00 and the final WBA is $200.00, the actual weeks of duration are
26. This claimant, however, may have been compensated for 30 weeks if partial
payments were made on the claim.

4. The balance on the claim may not be zero if the state retains the balance for disqualified
weeks on its database. For example, the final MBA is $5,200.00; the final WBA is
$200.00; but 13 weeks were disqualified. The disqualified portion of $2,600.00 should
be removed from the final MBA before loading the file into the software. Therefore, the
final MBA will be $2,600.00, and the actual weeks of duration will be 13.
5.

The range of duration breakouts is not validated. Only the totals are validated.

*These values are abbreviated in the record layout data format specifications (see Appendix A of ETA Operations Guide 411) but are shown here in their entirety for informational
purposes.
aFor subpopulations 3.34 through 3.39, “original monetary” refers to the first monetary determination/redetermination using wages from more than one state.
bObservations reported in all populations which require the number of weeks of potential duration will be sorted by the number of weeks and subtotaled by the range of weeks.
cThis situation will only occur when the State does not automatically establish a new benefit year for claimants who are monetarily eligible for benefits.
dThese are new or transitional claims filed in a prior quarter. States should use the same Federal generic value of “Prior Qtr New Claim” for either type in the Population 3 extract
file.

APPENDIX A

Population 3/3a Notes
1.

Overview

Population 3 includes new, transitional and CWC claims. Population 3a includes additional
claims. The only additional and reopened claims reported in Population 3 are interstate filed
from agent state claims from the LADT report or interstate taken as agent state claims. New
and transitional UI claims are reported on the 5159 and the monetary determinations
associated with these claims are reported on the ETA 218. For new and transitional UI claims,
states are required to produce a single record showing the claim and monetary. This is the only
way to ensure that each claim is reported once and only once on the ETA 218.

ETA 5159: All claims filed (established) during the report/validation
quarter.
Validation of New and Transitional UI claims validates two Federal reports:
ETA 218:

New and transitional UI claims where the original monetary determination was
issued during the quarter. The claims will match three months of the ETA 5159
report, and their most recent monetary determinations will match the quarterly
ETA 218 report (see the tables on the previous page for the relationship between
claims populations and cells on the ETA 5159 and ETA 218 reports).

UCFE and UCX claims are included only on the ETA 5159 report and not on
the ETA 218 report. Therefore, columns 8 through 13 are optional for UCFE
and UCX claims.
CWC claims are extracted, processed and reported using completely separate logic from that
used to extract, process and report non-CWC claims. In fact, each CWC claim is reported
twice, once as a CWC claim and once as a regular claim. The CWC technical assistance
guide, in Appendix C, provides instructions for extracting and labeling CWC claims.
2.

Monetary Determinations

Many states generate a monetary determination automatically when a claim is filed, even
when a wage request is pending. For these states, the counts of new and transitional UI claims
on the 5159 will match the counts of original monetary determinations on the ETA 218.
Some states do not automatically generate a monetary determination when a claim is filed.
For these states, the counts on the two reports may differ when a claim is filed in one quarter,
but the original monetary determination for that claim is generated in the following quarter.
The validation methodology handles these situations as follows:

UI DV HANDBOOK, BENEFITS

A.17

SEPTEMBER 2019

SUBPOPULATION SPECIFICATIONS

APPENDIX A

A) When no original monetary determination was sent during the quarter being
validated in which the new claim was filed, the claim will be reported on the ETA
5159, but there will be no monetary status reported on the ETA 218 for the quarter
being validated. These claims are assigned to subpopulations 3.7 (new intrastate),
3.14 (new interstate), and 3.31 (transitional).
B) When the original monetary determination was sent during the quarter being
validated but the claim was filed during the previous quarter, the monetary status will
be reported on the ETA 218, but there will be no claim reported on the ETA 5159
for the quarter being validated. These monetary determinations are assigned to
subpopulations 3.40 through 3.45, depending on their monetary status.
3.

Reporting Criteria

The ETA 5159 report criteria and procedures for building claims extract files are as follows:


The date the claim was filed or processed determines the reporting on the 5159.



Assign a claim type category (new, transitional, or additional) and sort into the
categories in Column 4.



Assign an intrastate or interstate category based on the liable and agent state(s) and
sort into the categories in Column 7.



Assign a program type (UI, UCFE, or UCX) based on the wages present on the most
recent monetary determination at the time the report program is run and sort into the
categories in Column 6. If no wages were found, assign the program type based on
the type of claim filed. Follow the current program type hierarchy (any UI wages
are UI; any UCFE wages without UI are UCFE; and UCX wages are only UCX).

The following table shows how various types of claims are assigned to the reporting categories
on the 5159 report based on the type of claim and the intra/interstate type.

APPENDIX A

The ETA 218 report criteria and procedures for extracting information from monetary
determinations are as follows:


The date of the original monetary determination determines the reporting on the ETA
218.



Based on the most recent monetary determination/WBA at the time the report is run,
assign a monetary determination status and sort into the categories in Column 9.

Column (7) Lines 101 ― 103 (Interstate Additional Claims):
When both Populations 3 and 3a are loaded, the software transfers the count of any
interstate additional claims from Population 3a to Population 3. Thus the validation
counts for Lines 101 ― 103 (7) in Population 3, may be higher after Population 3a is
loaded.
The count of UI interstate additional claims on the RV Summary will be the sum of 3.8
― 3.14 plus 3a.4.
The count of UCFE interstate additional claims on the RV Summary will be the sum of
3.17 and 3a.5.
The count of UCX interstate additional claims on the RV Summary will be the sum of
3.18 and 3a.6.

These records represent insufficient monetary determinations (ineligible

3.2 ― 3.5:

These records represent sufficient monetary determinations (eligible claims)
with a new benefit year established. These records include monetary
information in columns 8― 13 (Date of the Original Monetary,
Sufficient/Insufficient, WBA, MBA, Potential Weeks of Duration and
Potential Weeks of Maximum Duration).

3.6:

These records represent sufficient monetary determinations with no new
benefit year established. This applies to states where a new benefit year is not
established at the same time that the claim is filed.

3.7:

These records represent new claims filed where no monetary determination
was issued.

3.8 ― 3.14:

These records represent interstate received as liable claims and are assigned to
subpopulations using the same logic as subpopulations 3.1 ― 3.7.

3.15 ― 3.18: These records represent new UCFE/UCX claims. The monetary information
columns 8 ― 13 (Date of the Original Monetary, Sufficient/Insufficient, WBA,
MBA, Potential Weeks of Duration, and Potential Weeks of Maximum
Duration) are not required because these claims are not reported on the ETA
218. You may leave data in these fields in the extract file. The software will
ignore them.
3.19 ― 3.21: These records represent interstate filed from agent state claims. This
information comes from the LADT claimant records. Instructions for building
the records to be added to the extract file from the LADT detail records can be
found in Appendix C, Technical Guidance.
3.22 ― 3.24: These records represent interstate taken as agent state claims. These are claims
against other states that are filed in your state agency.
3.25 ― 3.33: These records represent transitional claims (UI/UCFE/UCX). Transitional UI
claims are reported on the ETA 5159 and the ETA 218.
3.34 ― 3.37: These records represent new CWC claims. Procedures for validating CWC
claims and payments are found in Appendix C.
A new CWC claim occurs when the first IB4 request to transfer wages is sent
to another state for a claim.
If the first IB4 for a claim is sent during a quarter and a monetary determination
or redetermination is issued using wages from more than one state during that
quarter, it constitutes a new CWC claim and a new CWC benefit year.
These records are assigned to subpopulations 3.35 (for intrastate) and 3.37 (for
interstate).
If the first IB4 for a claim is sent during a quarter but no monetary
determination or redetermination using wages from more than one state is
issued during that quarter, then this constitutes an insufficient CWC claim (no
new benefit year is established), and these transactions are assigned to
subpopulations 3.34 (for intrastate) and 3.36 (for interstate).
There are several reasons why a monetary determination using wages from
more than one state may not be issued in the quarter in which the initial IB-4
was sent for a claim:
1) Wages were not found in the other state
2) Wages were found in the other state but not used
3) Wages were found but used in a subsequent quarter

3.38 ― 3.39: These transactions represent new CWC benefit years where the new CWC
claim was filed in a prior quarter. This occurs when the first monetary
determination or redetermination using wages from more than one state was
issued during the quarter but the initial IB4 was sent during a previous quarter.
3.40 ― 3.45: These transactions represent new UI claims filed in a quarter prior to the
quarter being validated when the initial monetary determination or
redetermination was issued during the quarter being validated.
3.46:

These transactions represent claims filed under the entering self-employment
program.

3a.1 ― 3a.6: These transactions represent intrastate and interstate additional claims
(UI/UCFE/UCX).
5.

Commuter Claim

If a claimant commuted from the claimant’s residence in another state to a job in your (the
liable) state and that person filed directly with your (the liable) state, the claim is reported as
an intrastate claim.

APPENDIX A

Population 4 Notes
1. The First Payment time lapse performance measure (as reported on the ETA 9050 report)
uses a different definition of first payment than the definition of first payment used on the
ETA 5159 report. The measure in the ETA 9050 uses the first compensable week rather
than the first week compensated.
First payments are payments for the first compensable week in the benefit year after the
waiting week where there were no excessive earnings. Because it is determined by the
week paid, it is possible that the first payment date could fall after other payments have
been made on the claim.
The ETA 5159 counts, which are not currently validated, use the first week compensated,
i.e. the earliest payment date on the claim.
2.

Adjusted Payments (Subpopulations 4.33 – 4.42): These are payments for weeks that
have previously been compensated. The initial payment for the week is counted as a
week compensated, and only additional payments for the same week are considered
adjustments. These are reported on row 302 (section B) of the ETA 5159 only. Only
dollar amounts are included. These payments are not counted as weeks compensated in
row 301 (section B) of the ETA 5159 nor are they included on the ETA 9050 or ETA
9051 reports.

3.

Self-employment: These payments are reported twice. They are reported as selfemployment and also as part of the regular program; therefore, they must be extracted
twice.

4.

CWC prior weeks compensated (Subpopulations 4.50 – 4.51): The software allows
the state to check the integrity of the files by using date ranges. For example, the ETA
5159 is a monthly report, and the dates must be within the month being validated. CWC
prior weeks compensated payment dates will not fall during the same month being
validated, but the software will accept and count these in subpopulations 4.50 and 4.51.

5. Joint Payments: In situations where a payment for a joint claim is made that does not
use funds from more than one program, that payment is not considered joint and should
be reported as UI, UCFE, or UCX.
6.

Timing: The extract file must be built with a quarter’s worth of CWC data
(Subpopulations 4.44 to 4.51) to validate the quarterly CWC ETA 586 report. The other
payments data (subpopulations 4.1 – 4.43), to validate counts and dollars on the monthly
5159, 9050, and 9051 reports, must be for the last month of the quarter. When loading
the file, use the period Start and End dates for the quarter to allow the validation counts
to match the ETA 586 report. The software will retrieve the monthly counts for the last
month of the quarter.
Records labeled “CWC Prior Weeks Compensated”
(subpopulations 4.50 and 4.51) will have payment dates prior to the quarter, but the
software will allow those to import.

APPENDIX A

Population 5 Notes
1.

For states that require a week to be claimed in order to count non-monetary
determinations, use the transaction date of the non-monetary determination when the mail
date precedes the week claimed date. For example, if a determination is mailed in
December and the week is claimed in January, the state enters the transaction (or
countable) date in January to signify that this non-monetary determination is countable
for Federal reporting purposes.

2.

This population includes non-monetary determinations for Short Time Compensation
(STC) Program (workshare) claims. These records should be labeled as “Workshare” for
“Type of UI Program.” See the software record layouts for more details.

3.

Multiclaimant Nonmonetary Determinations are counted in two ways on the ETA 207
report. Section A 101(6) counts the number of multiclaimant determinations (affirmed
plus denied). Section A 102(6) counts the number of claimants affected by denial
determinations. Currently the software cannot distinguish between the number of
claimants affected and the number of denial determinations because the Population 5
record lacks a key field. If a single record for each denial determination is created, the
count of determinations will be correct; however, the count of claimants involved in
denials will be understated. Alternatively, if a record for each denied claimant is created,
the count of claimants involved in denials will be correct; however, but the count of
determinations will be overstated.
The extract file and software will be revised in the future so that both the number of
multiclaimant determinations and the number of claimants denied will be captured in the
same way that is currently done for all multiclaimant appeal decisions reported on the
ETA 5130 (Populations 8 and 9).
In the meantime, when building the Population 5 extract file create a record for each
multiclaimant determination to deny benefits as well as to affirm benefits. This can be
done by creating a record for one claimant out of each multiclaimant denial determination
as representative of that determination. The validation count for the number of
multiclaimant determinations thus will be correct, and the reported counts of the UI
multiclaimant determinations on the ETA 207 (Group 5.04) and on the ETA 9052 reports
(Group 5.10) will be properly validated. These are Pass/Fail groups because they are part
of important workload items. However, the number of claimants denied on line 102 of
the ETA 207 will be incorrect. (These are not Pass/Fail items.) Indicate in the comments
field of the RV screen that the discrepancy is due to a software limitation and is not a
state error.

APPENDIX A

Population 6 and 7 Notes
1.

Appeal Filed Date: If a state experiences delays in mailed appeals, it can use the received
date rather than the postmark date to ensure that all appeals are counted. The received
date can be used because there is no time lapse for these populations. This would help in
those situations where appeals are received after the ETA 5130 report has been run for
the previous month. For example, an appeal with a postmark of 3/31/02 that is received
on 4/10/02, in a state where the ETA 5130 was run on 4/7/02, would be reported as having
been filed in April rather than in March.

2.

Subpopulations 6.2 and 7.2, Number of Claimants Involved in Multi-Claimant Appeal:
States will either store an individual record for each claimant involved in the appeal or
one record with the number of claimants. The software will count the number of records
or add the number of claimants in Column 6 to derive the number of claimants involved
in multi-claimant appeals filed.

SUBPOPULATION SPECIFICATIONS

APPENDIX A

Populations 8 and 9 Notes
1. Column 8 (Step 23B), Multiclaimant appeals:
States will either store an individual record for each appeal or one record with the number
of appellants. States that maintain a single record for multiclaimant appeals with a field
for the number of claimants involved should insert a text prefix of “M-1” (for multi-one
record) in the multi-claimant field.
States which maintain multiple records (one for each claimant) for a multi-claimant appeal
should insert a text prefix of “M-Lead” for one of the records. Both of these types of
records will be assigned to subpopulations 8.45 through 8.52 (lower authority) and 9.13
through 9.20 (higher authority). States which maintain multiple records should insert a
text prefix of “M-Nonlead” in the multiclaimant field for the non-lead claimants. These
records will be assigned to subpopulations 8.53 (lower authority) and 9.21 (higher
authority).
2. Column 14 (Disposed of by Decision) is optional. States which have an indicator to
distinguish countable from uncountable decisions should insert the value of the countable
appeal indicator in this field to show that it is countable based on information in the
appeals file
3. These populations include appeals for Short Time Compensation (STC) Program
(workshare) claims. These records should be labeled as “Workshare” for “Type of UI
Program.” See the software record layouts for more details.
4. Remanded cases by the higher authority are to be handled as follows. A case remanded
to lower authority for the taking of additional evidence is not a decision. It thus does not
belong in the Population 9 extract file until it is actually returned by the lower authority
and then disposed of by the higher authority. A case that is remanded for a rehearing does
involve a decision by the higher authority but it is neither in favor of the appellant nor not
in favor of the appellant. Within the existing DV framework, the Population 9 record
should be built as Not in Favor of the Appellant. If a large number of remanded cases
causes the Population 9 validation to fail, note the number if the Comments field.

_____________________________
a
To accommodate the special case when there is a claim that has no amount for a type of overpayment in the validation quarter but has an accumulated amount from previous
quarters that needs to be used to calculate a high dollar overpayment, the software will accept a zero or blank value in the UI Amount, Federal Amount and EB Amount fields, but
the corresponding accumulated amount must be greater than zero.
b
For Subpopulations 12.1 through 12.8, and 12.17 the Federal amount is the Federal share of a joint UI-Federal claim.
c
These values are abbreviated in the record layout data format specifications (see Appendix A of ETA Operations Guide 411) but are shown here in their entirety for informational
purposes.

Population 12 Notes
1.

Subpopulations 12.1 – 12.8 and 12.17: Enter the Federal amount in Column 9 for joint
claims.

2.

Do not include revisions to overpayment amounts made in subsequent quarters. For
example, if an overpayment was established in March and a revision to the amount was
made in April, these revisions are reported in Population 13 as additions and subtractions
but not reported in Population 12.

3.

The “cause” of fraud overpayments must be either “Multiclaimant schemes” or “Single
Claimant.” The software will reject records for fraud overpayments where the cause is

UI DV HANDBOOK, BENEFITS

A.73

SEPTEMBER 2019

SUBPOPULATION SPECIFICATIONS

APPENDIX A

not “multiclaimant schemes” or “Single Claimant.” States that use multiple codes for
types of fraud committed by single claimants should use “Single Claimant.”
4.

The accumulated amounts (i.e. fields Accumulated UI Amount, Accumulated Federal
Amount, and Accumulated EB Amount) are used to calculate high dollar overpayments.
Enter the total amount that the claim has from previous quarters that has not been
counted already towards a high dollar overpayment in a previous quarter. For records
belonging to the same claim, the accumulated amount should be the same. The software
will add the accumulated amount only once.

5.

To accommodate the special case when there is a claim that has no amount for a type of
overpayment in the validation quarter but has an accumulated amount from previous
quarters that needs to be used to calculate a high dollar overpayment, the software will
accept a zero or blank value in the UI Amount, Federal Amount and EB Amount fields,
but the corresponding accumulated amount must be greater than zero. For example, if
the claim has a nonfraud amount but no fraud amount in the validation quarter, the
validator needs to create a record with the accumulated fraud amount from previous
quarters. The record should have the amount equal to zero, the accumulated amount
greater than zero and any date within the validation quarter as the date established. The
software will accept records with the amount equal to zero only if the accumulated
amount is greater than zero. For example, if the Program Type is UI, and the UI
Amount = 0, then Accumulated UI Amount > 0 and/or Accumulated Federal Amount >
0 if it’s a joint claim. If Program Type is UCX or UCFE and Federal Amount = 0, then
Accumulated Federal Amount > 0. If Program Type is EB, and EB Amount = 0, then
Accumulated EB Amount > 0. This does not apply to Penalty records, for which the
accumulated amounts are always optional because they are not used to calculate high
dollar overpayments.

overpayments have been reported in line 506 (18,19) in at least 3 prior quarters.

Column 6:
Y* = Yes, overpayment in active collection throughout the report quarter. Overpayment records must be coded with N or Y as soon as
they are old enough to be reported in E-506 (18 or 19)—Age 451+ days.
N = No, overpayment not in active collection at the end of the report quarter. Records of overpayments not in active collection must be
coded with N as soon as they are old enough to be reported in E-506 (18 or 19)--Age 451+ days--and will be removed after having been
reported in Section E for eight previous quarters.
D* = Dropped, overpayment not in active collection at the end of the report quarter after being in active collection throughout (or at least
at the end of) the prior quarter and reported in Section E at least nine previous quarters.

APPENDIX A

Population 14 Notes
1.

Population 14 has been designed to process a state’s entire outstanding overpayments file
and generate:



Section E of the ETA 227 Report (Age of Outstanding Overpayments)
Amounts removed on Section C of the ETA 227 Report (Overpayments
Reconciliation Activities – Row 312)

The validation of amounts removed in Section C uses the population 14 file and not the
population 13 file which validates Section C because removal is determined by examining
outstanding overpayments.
The software will ignore any overpayments that are included in the extract file that are
too old to be included in Section E and are not removed during the quarter.
Overpayments are not removed automatically when they have been included on the
previous eight 227 reports. If the overpayment is in Active Collection status in the ninth
quarter after it was established, it is not removed until the state indicates that it has
dropped the Active Collection status.
Therefore, states must label each outstanding overpayment that has been reported on eight
227 reports in Column 6 (Active Collection) as either:


Yes – in active collection. These overpayments will not be removed and will be
included in section E (greater than 450 days).



No – not in active collection. These overpayments will be removed (not
included in section E but included in Section C line 12) in the ninth quarter after
the date established. Any overpayment greater than nine quarters old with a no
in Column 7 is not included in Sections C or E.



Dropped – the overpayment has been reported for 9 or more quarters and was in
active collection in the prior quarter but has been dropped during the report
quarter from active collection status. These payments will be included in Section
C line 12 as removed during the quarter.

2.

Overpayment in Active Collection: Overpayments for which a payment schedule is
established with the claimant or for which offsets are being collected.

3.

Section C of the ETA 227 report requires the amounts removed to be identified as fraud
or non-fraud. Therefore, a value of fraud or non-fraud is required in Column 8 for
overpayments which had been reported for eight quarters and are not in active collection
or overpayments which had been reported for nine or more quarters and the state dropped
active collection during the quarter.

Population 15 Notes
1. Do not include revisions to overpayment amounts made in subsequent quarters. For
example, if an overpayment was established in March and a revision to the amount was
made in April, these revisions are reported in Population 13 as additions and subtractions
but not reported in Population 15.
2. Subpopulations 15.13, 15.14, 15.20, 15.21. States are not required to report whether
Other Controllable or Non-controllable overpayments were established by investigation
and so Field 8, Established by Investigation, is optional for these overpayment detection
types. A Non-controllable overpayment rarely involves an agency investigation.
3. Subpopulations 15.01-15.06. These represent potential or likely overpayments which,
after investigation, were not established either because the investigation could not
substantiate the existence of an overpayment or because the amount was too small for
recovery to be cost-effective. An example of the former would be the investigation of
SDNH, NDNH or other cross-match hits.

SAMPLE SPECIFICATIONS

SAMPLE SPECIFICATIONS

APPENDIX B

A. Purpose
This appendix describes the sampling specifications used by the software to select samples of
transactions for data element validation.
B. TYPES OF SAMPLES
The validation software uses specific random and supplemental sampling techniques to ensure
that the validation methodology is efficient but thorough. The software selects four different
types of samples:


Random



Missing subpopulations



Outliers



Minimum

There are 18 random samples among all benefits populations. These samples pass with an
error rate of 5% or less. If a random sample fails to pass validation, the population must be
revalidated within a year.
Non-random samples are supplemental and are not used when calculating population pass/fail
scores, but states must complete them and save their results for three years in case of an Office
of Inspector General (OIG) audit.
C. Random Samples
Random samples are used to validate the most important transaction types, for which ETA
requires the most comprehensive validation. These transaction types are used for funding or
for important performance measures, such as initial claims, nonmonetary determinations,
appeals, and first payments.
The DV program uses a two-tier random sampling method. This approach is very efficient
because it allows states to review a relatively small number of cases while still ensuring that
the data meet UI validation standards.
Depending on the type of transactions to be validated, the software selects 100 or 200 cases
at random from a specific set of subpopulations. The validator initially reviews 30 cases for
samples of 100 records or 60 for samples of 200 records, referred to as the first tier of the
sample. After the validator finishes validating the first tier, the software indicates whether it
is necessary to continue to review the remaining cases. If there are no errors or a sufficiently
large number of errors in the first tier, it is not necessary to validate the remaining cases
because the error rate of the whole sample is conclusively below 5% or above 5%. It is only
necessary to validate the remaining cases when the error rate is not conclusively below or

SAMPLE SPECIFICATIONS

APPENDIX B

above 5%. The method the software uses to determine pass/fail scores follows. Specifications
for each type of random sample are found in Table B.1 on page B.5.
Procedures for reviewing 30/100 samples:
Step 1:

Review the 30 cases in the first tier.
0 errors: the error rate is considered to be below 5%, and it is not necessary to
review the remaining cases in the sample. The sample passes validation.
5 or more errors: the error rate is considered to be above 5%, and it is not
necessary to review the remaining cases in the sample. The sample fails
validation.
1 - 4 errors: the error rate is inconclusive, and the remaining 70 cases in the
second tier of the sample must be reviewed (proceed to step 2)

Step 2:

Review the remaining 70 cases in the second tier.
9 or fewer errors (out of 100): the error rate is considered to be below 5%, and
hence the sample passes the validation.
10 or more errors (out of 100): the error rate is considered to be above 5%, and
hence the sample fails the validation.

Procedures for reviewing 60/200 samples:
Step 1:

Review the 60 cases in the first tier.
0 errors: the error rate is considered to be below 5%, and it is not necessary to
review the remaining cases in the sample. The sample passes validation.
7 or more errors: the error rate is considered to be above 5%, and it is not
necessary to review the remaining cases in the sample. The sample fails
validation.
1 - 6 errors: the error rate is inconclusive, and the remaining 140 cases in the
second tier of the sample must be reviewed (proceed to step 2).

Step 2:

Review of the remaining 140 cases in the second tier:
16 or fewer errors (out of 200): the error rate is considered to be below 5%,
and hence the sample passes the validation

SAMPLE SPECIFICATIONS

APPENDIX B

17 or more errors (out of 200): the error rate is considered to be above 5%,
and hence the sample fails the validation
D. Missing Subpopulations Samples
Each missing subpopulations sample is related to a specific random sample. These are
supplemental samples that check one transaction from each subpopulation for which no
transactions were selected in the corresponding random sample. The purpose of these samples
is to make sure that all types of critical transactions are reviewed.
For example, when selecting a random sample of first payments, the sample might not include
any interstate first payments for claimants with both state UI and Federal wages
(subpopulation 4.12) because this type of payment might occur infrequently. For the
corresponding minimum sample, the software would then randomly select one transaction
from subpopulation 4.12 and from any other subpopulation not represented in the random
sample.
E. Outliers Samples
Random and missing subpopulations samples ensure that critical transactions have been
defined correctly. However, these types of samples will not necessarily examine time lapse
and dollar amount extremes (the shortest and longest time lapses, and the lowest and highest
dollar amounts) where data or programming errors may occur. Review of data outliers is the
most efficient way of detecting calculation or logic errors because it examines the extremes
in a distribution of cases sorted by time lapse or dollar amount.
For example, to ensure that there are no calculation or date errors, the software draws the five
cases with the lowest time lapse in days and the five cases with the highest time lapse in days
for transactions subjected to time lapse measurement. The user then validates these cases to
determine whether there are some anomalies. The same method is applied for transactions
that report dollar amounts, such as overpayments established and overpayment reconciliation
activities. Specifications for each outliers sample are found in Table B.1.
F. Minimum Samples
Supplemental minimum samples are used for transactions which have low priority for
validation and for which no random sample is drawn by the software. For these types of
transactions, it is only necessary to ensure that the state reporting software uses the correct
fields in the database to process and report the transactions. For example, for new UCFE/UCX
claims (subpopulations 3.15-3.18), only a supplemental sample of two cases per
subpopulation (or eight cases in total) is reviewed and no random sample is drawn.
Specifications for each supplemental minimum sample are found in Table B.1.
G. SAMPLE SELECTION SPECIFICATIONS
Table B.1 summarizes the sampling specifications. It lists all samples drawn by the software

INTERSTATE FILED FROM AGENT RECORDS

APPENDIX C

A. Purpose
Agent States are informed about New Claims and Continued Claims filed directly from
claimants in their state against paying states through the Liable Agent Data Transfer (LADT)
system. The LADT records are transferred from liable states to agent states via the Interstate
Connection (ICON) system, and are the source from which Interstate Agent claim counts are
reported and validated. LADT individual records are the source for building the validation
records for Interstate Agent Weeks Claimed (subpopulations 1.7-1.9 of Population 1) and
Interstate Agent Initial Claims (subpopulations 3.19-3.21 of Population 3.) This appendix
provides instructions on how to build these records. If LADT individual records are not stored
on the state UI database, then Populations 1 and 3 constructed directly from the database will
contain no Interstate agent records and separate steps must be taken to construct and add them
to the extract files
B. Methodology
The two record layouts below provide guidance on how the LADT individual record data are
used to build Interstate Filed from Agent records. The records must be appended to records
in the extract files for Populations 1 and 3 before importing them into the validation software.
These records must be constructed as ASCII comma-delimited columns, as other records in
the extract file. Data must be in the order listed on the record layout.
Module 3 indicates the step where the state-specific values for each field are documented.
Where the LADT record does not contain the appropriate information, the record layout
indicates “Leave blank” in the LADT field number column. The Data Type/Format indicates
the generic values for text fields. These must be followed by a dash and the state-specific
value.
Refer to field number 62 (Record Type) in the LADT record to determine whether the record’s
data are to be used for Population 1 or 3. Population 1 uses data from Record Type = 2.
Population 3 extract records are built from LADT Records Type = 1 and 3.

COMBINED WAGE CLAIMS AND PAYMENTS
POPULATIONS 3 AND 4

COMBINED WAGE CLAIMS AND PAYMENTS

APPENDIX D

A. Purpose
The ETA 5159 report includes information on claims filed and payments made. If those
claims and payments involve combining wages from more than one state--i.e., they are
combined wage claims (CWC)—they are also reported on the ETA 586 report of the paying
state. The way CWC are reported on the two reports, however, is completely different. For
this reason, the data validation program counts CWC claims and payments as separate
transactions for which separate records are built and extracted differently for Populations 3
and 4, even though they represent a single claim or payment on the 5159. This guide indicates
how the two sets of records are built and gives examples of both kinds of records.

For Population 3, state programmers need to extract claim records in subpopulations 3.1 to
3.33; 3.40 to 3.46 using the reporting rules of ETA 5159, where the issue of wages from
multiple states is irrelevant. Then, the programmers in the CWC paying state need to extract
CWC records for subpopulations 3.34 to 3.39 using the logic presented in the scenarios on the
following pages where wages from more than one state are involved (including where wages
were requested and/or added to the claim). Once the claims are extracted, the programmers
must merge the records into a single file that can be loaded into the DV software.

The same approach is used for CWC payments in Population 4. The reporting of weeks
compensated on the ETA 5159 report and of payments’ time lapse on the ETA 9050 and ETA
9051 reports is not affected by how many states’ wages are used. The reporting rules for
weeks compensated on the ETA 586 report is explained in this guide and is very different
from the rules for the ETA 5159, ETA 9050, and ETA 9051 reports.

State programmers should extract payments for subpopulations 4.1 to 4.43 using the ETA
5159, ETA 9050, and ETA 9051 reporting rules. Then, using the logic explained in the
scenarios on the following pages, create a separate extract file for CWC payments for
subpopulations 4.44 to 4.51. These two files must then be merged to load into Population 4
in the DV software.
Obviously, it is not necessary to physically create two extracts each for Populations 3 and 4
and then merge them. Programmers could combine the two sets of extract logic into a single
extract process for each of these populations.
B.

Methodology

The following scenarios illustrate examples of different ways that combined wage claims and
their associated payments are reported and validated on the ETA 586. For the first five
scenarios, the first quarter of 2006 (January to March, 2006) was used. Activities that were
reported on prior ETA 586 reports are listed as N/A for that specific quarter. Reporting

the effect of a regulation issued in November 2008 (effective January 2009) that changes the
definition of the CWC paying state.

1. A new UI intrastate claim is filed and determined monetarily insufficient or sufficient
for less than the maximum WBA on 02/02/2006 (if the original monetary were for the
Maximum MBA/WBA, wages could not be combined to yield a New CWC BY.) In
many state environments, the claimant may request that wages be combined as part of
filing an IC; in such cases, the initial claim process will include sending IB-4’s to the
states where the claimant worked, and a monetary determination will not be done until
the requested out-of-state wages are received.

Scenario 2

APPENDIX D

An IB-4 request is sent after two UI payments are made. Wages were
combined after the new UI claim was filed but within the same quarter; and the
first payment for the new CWC is the payment for the first compensable week
after wages were combined. In this scenario, the CWC first payment occurs
before an adjustment check is issued for the week compensated before
combining the wages.

1. A new UI intrastate claim is filed and determined sufficient on 01/02/2006. The
monetary results in a Benefit Year for maximum duration but less than maximum
WBA.
2. A payment of $100 is made on 01/13/2006. This payment is a regular first payment
on the 9050 report and included in the 5159, but it will be reported as a CWC continued
payment on the ETA 586 in cell 101-4, with the dollar amount reported in cell 101-5.
3. A second payment of $100 is made on 01/20/2006. This payment will be reported as
a CWC continued payment on the ETA 586 in cell 101-4. The dollar amount is reported
in cell 101-5.
4. An IB-4 request to combine wages is sent. This results in a new CWC claim that is
reported on the ETA 586 in cell 101-1.
5. A monetary redetermination is issued that combines wages and increases the WBA to
$150. This establishes the CWC benefit year that is reported on the ETA 586 in cell
101-2. This redetermination is assumed to result in a Benefit Year for maximum
duration and a higher, but still less than maximum, WBA.
6. A payment of $150 is made. This is considered a CWC first payment and is reported
on the ETA 586 in cell 101-4. The dollar amount is reported in cell 101-5.
7. A CWC adjustment payment of $100 is made. This is not reported as a week
compensated since the weeks have already been counted in steps 2 and 3. However,
the dollar amount is reported on the ETA 586 in cell 101-5.
8. A payment of $150 is made. This is considered a CWC continued payment that is
reported on the ETA 586 in cell 101-4. The dollar amount is reported in cell 101-5.
9. A payment of $150 is made. This is considered a CWC continued payment that is
reported on the ETA 586 in cell 101-4. The dollar amount is reported in cell 101-5.
10. A payment of $150 is made. This is considered a CWC continued payment that is
reported on the ETA 586 in cell 101-4. The dollar amount is reported in cell 101-5.

Scenario 3

APPENDIX D

An IB-4 request is sent after two UI payments are made. Wages were
combined after the new UI claim was filed but within the same quarter. The
first check issued to the claimant after wages are combined is an adjustment
payment for the two weeks compensated prior to the combining of wages. The
next check is for the first week compensated after wages are combined. For
purposes of determining CWC first payment time lapse, Handbook 401
considers the adjustment check as the first payment; however, data validation,
which does not validate CWC time lapse but only the count of first payments,
considers the payment for the first CWC week paid to be the CWC First
Payment. This difference in definitions should result in only an insignificant
difference in the count of first payments.

Scenario 4

APPENDIX D

Wages were requested and combined in the quarter after the UI claim was filed.
Four payments were made before wages were combined. Two of them
occurred in the quarter before wages were combined and are considered CWC
Prior Weeks Compensated. The next two occurred in the same quarter as the
CWC and are considered CWC continued weeks compensated. As in Scenario
3, the first check issued to the claimant after wages are combined is an
adjustment payment (in this scenario for the four weeks compensated before
wages were combined.) The next check is for the first week compensated after
wages are combined, which data validation considers the CWC first payment.
As pointed out in Scenario 3, for CWC 1st payment timeliness, Handbook 401
considers the adjustment payment as the first payment.

1. A new UI intrastate claim is filed and determined sufficient on 12/02/2005. The claim and
monetary establishing a $2,600 MBA and WBA of $100 are reported in the 200504 quarter.
2. A payment of $100 is made on 12/09/2005. This is the regular payment for the first
compensable week and reported on the 9050 report, as well as a week compensated/$
compensated on the 5159 report for December 2005. After a CWC BY is established, this
payment will be reported as a CWC prior week compensated on the ETA 586 in cell 1016, and the dollar amount will be reported in cell 101-7.
3. A second payment of $100 is made on 12/16/2005. This is a regular continued week paid
(9051, 5159 reports for December 2005). After a CWC BY is established, this payment
will be reported as a CWC prior week compensated on the ETA 586 in cell 101-6. The
dollar amount is reported in cell 101-7.
4. A third payment of $100 is made on 01/06/2006. This is a regular continued week paid
(9051, 5159 reports). After a CWC BY is established, this payment will be reported as a
CWC continued payment on the ETA 586 in cell 101-4. The dollar amount is reported in
cell 101-5.
5. A fourth payment of $100 is made on 01/13/2006. This is a regular continued week paid
(9051, 5159 reports). After a CWC BY is established, this payment will be reported as a
CWC continued payment on the ETA 586 in cell 101-4. The dollar amount is reported in
cell 101-5.
6. An IB-4 request to combine wages is sent. This results in a new CWC claim and is reported
on the 586 in cell 101-1.
7. A monetary redetermination is issued that combines wages and increases the WBA to $150.
This establishes the CWC benefit year that is reported on the ETA 586 in cell 101-2. Being
a redetermination, it is not reported on the 218 report for the 200601 quarter.
8. A CWC adjustment payment of $200 is made. This is not reported as a week compensated
since the weeks have already been counted in steps 2, 3, 4 and 5. However, the dollar
amount is reported on the ETA 586 in cell 101-5 because it is a CWC payment made in the
200601 quarter.

COMBINED WAGE CLAIMS AND PAYMENTS

Scenario 5

APPENDIX D

Wages were combined in the quarter after the CWC claim was filed. The
claimant requested that wages be added from another state, and the state sent
the IB-4 in one quarter. However, the first monetary determination
(redetermination) based on wages from two or more states was not issued until
the following quarter.
The first IB-4 sent for a claim constitutes a "new CWC." The first monetary
determination or redetermination using wages from more than one state is a
"new CWC benefit year." In the first quarter, then, there is a new CWC but
not a CWC benefit year since these two events occurred in different quarters.
Data validation treats this transaction as an "insufficient CWC."
In the subsequent quarter there is a new CWC benefit year established but the
claim has already been reported in the prior quarter. Therefore, data validation
treats this as a new CWC benefit year where the claim was filed in a prior
quarter and does not double count the CWC.

3. A monetary redetermination is issued that combines wages and results in a WBA of $150.
This establishes the CWC benefit year that is reported on the ETA 586 in cell 101-2.
Because the monetary redetermination is in a different quarter than the IB-4, the new CWC
benefit year is reported in subpopulation 3.38.
4. A payment of $150 is made. This is considered both a regular first payment (Reported on
9050 and as a week/$ compensated on the 5159) and a CWC first payment that is reported
on the ETA 586 in cell 101-4. The dollar amount is reported in cell 101-5.
5. A second payment of $150 is made. This is considered a regular continued payment (9051,

COMBINED WAGE CLAIMS AND PAYMENTS

Scenario 6

APPENDIX D

Determining the CWC Paying State.
On November 14, 2008, UIPL 1-09 redefined the CWC “paying state.”
Effective January 6, 2009, it is “a single state against which a claimant files a
CWC if (1) the claimant has employment and wages in that State’s base period
and (2) the claimant qualifies for UC in that state using the combined
employment and wages.” Previously, the paying state could be any state under
whose UC law the claimant qualified for benefits on the basis of combined
employment and wages, whether the claimant actually had employment and
wages in that state or not. The change in definition limits a claimant’s
flexibility in filing a CWC and thus changes where CWC benefit years are
established, and who pays regular and CWC benefits. This change may affect
which state is the paying state, it may also affect reporting,, including the
classification of claims and payments as Intrastate or Interstate. The following
example illustrates.
Jones recently lost her job in Maryland, where she still resides. During the
base period, however, she had enough work and earnings in both Maryland and
Virginia to qualify for a combined-wage benefit in either state; on the basis of
her combined wages, her WBA in Maryland would be higher than in Virginia.
However, she has been informed that the Massachusetts benefit scale is higher
yet, and that she has enough Maryland and Virginia wages to qualify for
benefits in Massachusetts.
 Before January 6: Jones could have qualified not only for an Intrastate CWC
benefit in Maryland or an Interstate CWC benefit in Virginia—states where
she had base period wages--but also an Interstate CWC benefit in any other
state where those wages were sufficient for a BY. She selects Massachusetts
for the highest benefit. MA would report her regular Initial Claim on the 5159
report and 218 and as the paying state, MA’s 586 report would record her
claims and payment activity on line 102 (Interstate) and 1st payment activity in
column 9 (Interstate) of Part B of the 586. Regular payment activity will be
reported on MA’s 5159, 9050-All-C6, and 9051 reports.
 Since January 6: Jones could only file either an Intrastate CWC against
Maryland or an Interstate CWC against Virginia. She chooses Maryland to get
a higher WBA. Maryland will report her CWC claims and payment activity on
line 101 of its 586 part A (Intrastate) and 1st payment activity in column 8 of
part B. Maryland will also report an initial claim (Intrastate) in its 5159-1012, a first payment in 9050-All-C2, and Weeks and Amounts compensated on
the 5159.
