OMB No.: 1205-0359 OMB Expiration Date OMB Burden Hours: 1 hour

OMB Burden Statement: These reporting instructions have been approved under the Paperwork reduction Act of 1995. Persons are not required to respond to this collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. Public reporting burden for this collection of information includes the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Submission is mandatory under SSA 303(a) (6). Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Unemployment Insurance, Room S-4524, 200 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC, 20210.

1. Purpose

The ETA 9056 report provides quarterly information on the quality of nonmonetary determinations that state agencies issue to claimants and employers in the report period. Intrastate and Interstate single-claimant and multi-claimant separation and nonseparation nonmonetary determinations are included in the report. Nonmonetary determinations made by organizational units such as Benefits Accuracy Measurement (BAM) and Benefit Payment Control (BPC) are also included in the report. Notices of overpayments on uncontested earnings detected by any method (e.g., cross-match) are excluded from the report.

2. Due Date and Transmittal

The report is due in the ETA National Office on the 20th of the second month following the quarter to which the data relates. This report will be transmitted electronically.

3. General Reporting Instructions

Each state will select a sample (see ETA Handbook 301, Benefits Timeliness and Quality (BTQ) Nonmonetary Determinations Quality Review (revised July, 2005), Appendix A) of nonmonetary determinations from the nonmonetary determinations time lapse universe for the preceding quarter. The sample universe is based on the time lapse data reported on the ETA 9052 for each month in the review quarter. Basic information or “skeleton” data that uniquely identifies each determination selected must be entered via the state’s Sun machine into the UIRR data base by the 15th of the first month following the end of the review quarter. Skeleton data will either be automatically loaded as part of the state’s sample selection program or will be manually entered into the database. Once all skeleton data is entered, the state will invoke a sample validation program to verify that the determinations selected meet the parameters of a valid sample. If the selected sample meets validation, each nonmonetary determination will then be evaluated according to the instructions provided in ETA Handbook 301. After the quality evaluation is complete, the official results will be entered into the database. The system will automatically compute the quality scores when all data has been entered.

Nonmonetary determinations from the following categories are included in the quality review:

Intrastate UI, Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE), Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemen (UCX), Combined Wage Claims (CWC)

1. Interstate UI, UCFE, UCX, CWC claims

2. Multi-claimant Labor Dispute Determinations

3. Multi-claimant "Other" Determinations, i.e., determinations which do not involve a labor dispute but affect a class of claimants from the same employer with a common issue

4. BPC/BAM generated determinations

5. Other inclusions are described in HB 401, ETA 207, Nonmonetary Determination Activities (See E. 1(a) and 3(a) – (l))

The following categories are excluded from the quality review:

1. Excludes overpayment notices on uncontested earnings detected by any method (e.g., cross-match).

2. Excludes episodic claims programs such as Extended Benefits (EB), Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA), and Trade Readjustment Allowances (TRA).

3. Excludes Nonmonetary Redeterminations.

4. Other exclusions are described in HB 401, ETA 207, Nonmonetary Determination Activities (see E.b)

4. Definitions

Definitions, unless otherwise specified in these instructions, are the same definitions used for the ETA 207, ETA 9050 and ETA 9052 reports found elsewhere in this Handbook and in ETA Handbook 301.

For detailed instructions on data collection items 3 through 24, refer to ETA Handbook 301, Chapter V.

6. Checking the Report

The electronic reporting system will edit the data at three different stages: 1) If possible, each element or field in the report is validated before data entry can proceed to the next, 2) saving the report for each sampled case invokes the system's Review-Edit program which compares each element against any conditions it is required to meet including any arithmetic operations. The program will list any errors or warnings generated. If possible, the user is advised to resolve "errors" before saving the data because 3) prior to transmitting the data, the system will run the same Review-Edit program.

The transmission function will generate an exception report identifying the case and the items that failed the edit(s). All cases failing the review edit must be corrected by the report date to allow transmission to the National Office. All cases must pass the review edit, otherwise, case transmission will not occur.

Detailed instructions on edit checks can be found in Handbook 402, Unemployment Insurance Required Reports User’s Manual, Appendix C.
