Federal-State Unemployment Compensation Program; Availability of 
Benefits Quality Control Annual Report Results

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.


[[Page 39007]]

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the Unemployment Insurance Benefits 
Quality Control Annual Report for Calendar Year 1994.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to announce the availability of 
the Unemployment Insurance (UI) Quality Control (QC) 1994 Annual Report 
which contains the results of each State's Benefits Quality Control 
(BQC) Program and how it may be obtained.

DATES: The Federal digest will be available after July 31, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Copies may be obtained by writing to Mary Ann Wyrsch, 
Director, Unemployment Insurance Service, U.S. Department of Labor, 
Employment and Training Administration, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., 
Room S-4231, Washington, D.C. 20210. The digest and this notice contain 
a list of names and addresses of persons in each State who will provide 
additional information regarding the individual State report and 
clarifications upon request.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Sharkey, Chief, Division of 
System Operations and Analysis, Office of Quality Control at 202-219-
7656. (This is not a toll free number.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each week, staff in each State's Employment 
Security Agency investigate random samples of UI benefit payments and 
record information based on interviews with claimants, employers, and 
third parties to determine whether State law, policy, and procedure 
were followed correctly in processing the sampled payment.

    The Department of Labor is publishing results from the 
investigations in a digest which includes information on the 52 
jurisdictions participating in the UI QC program. Five items are 
reported for each State: total UI benefit dollars paid to the 
population of claimants, size of the QC samples, and the percentages of 
proper payments, overpayments, and underpayments in the population 
estimated from the QC investigations. Ninety-five percent confidence 
intervals have been computed for each of the three percentages 
presented (proper payments, overpayments, and underpayments). States 
have been encouraged to provide narratives to further clarify the 
meaning of the data based on their specific situations.
    Since States' laws, policies, and procedures vary considerably, the 
data cannot be used to draw comparisons among States.
    In addition, each State has published its Annual Report separately. 
Persons wanting clarification or additional information concerning a 
specific State's report are encouraged to contact the individual 
identified in the attached mailing list.

    Signed at Washington, D.C., on July 25, 1995.
Timothy Barnicle,
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment and Training.
