SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 established an income and 
eligibility verification system (IEVS) for the exchange of information 
among state agencies administering specific programs. The programs 
include Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Medicaid, Food Stamps, 
Supplemental Security Income, Unemployment Compensation and any state 
program approved under Title I, X, XIV, or XVI of the Social Security 
Act. Under the Act, programs participating must exchange information to 
the extent that it is useful and productive in verifying eligibility 
and benefit amounts to assist the child support program and the 
Secretary of Health and Human Services in verifying eligibility and 
benefit amounts under Titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act.
    On September 27, 2006, the Employment and Training Administration 
of the Department of Labor issued a final rule regarding the 
Confidentiality and Disclosure of State Unemployment Compensation 
Information. This rule supports and expands upon the requirements of 
the 1984 Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 and subsequent regulatory 
changes.

II. Review Focus

    The Department of Labor is particularly interested in comments 
which:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submissions of responses.

III. Current Actions

    As the only continuous source of income and eligibility 
verification, the data are required by other agencies to administer and 
monitor multiple programs. The Confidentiality and Disclosure of State 
Unemployment Compensation Information rule amends the IEVS rule and 
provides regulatory revisions at 20 CFR part 603 in accordance with SSA 
Section 303(a)(1) related to the methods of administration requirement 
and supports the statutory requirements for SSA Sections 303(a)(7), 
(c)(1), (d), (e), (f), (h) and (i).
