The Department of Labor
(Department), as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to
provide the public and Federal agencies
with an opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing collections
of information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 [44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program
helps ensure that requested data can be
provided in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
the impact of collection requirements on
respondents can be properly assessed.
Currently, ETA is soliciting comments
concerning the continuation of
collection of data about the accuracy of
paid and denied UI claims, which is
accomplished through the BAM survey.
The Department’s BAM information
collection authority, under Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) number
1205–0245, is scheduled to expire on
December 31, 2015.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Jkt 235001
Since 1987, all State Workforce
Agencies (SWAs) except the U.S. Virgin
Islands have been required by regulation
at 20 CFR part 602 to operate BAM
programs to assess the accuracy of their
UI benefit payments in three programs:
State UI, Unemployment Compensation
for Federal Employees (UCFE), and
Unemployment Compensation for Exservicemembers (UCX). Beginning in
2001, BAM was modified to include the
sampling and investigation of UI claims
denied for monetary, separation, or
nonseparation issues.

BAM is one of the tools the
Department uses to measure and reduce
waste, fraud, and abuse in the UI
program. By investigating small
representative weekly samples of both
paid and denied UI claims, each state is
able to estimate reliably the number and
dollar value of proper and improper
payments; the number of proper and
improper denials of claims for UI
benefits; the rates of occurrence of these
proper and improper payments and
denials; and the error types, error
causes, and the parties that are
responsible for the errors.
Paid Claims Accuracy (PCA). Each
week SWAs select random samples of
both intrastate and interstate original
payments (including combined wage
claims) made for a week of UI benefits
under the State UI, UCX or UCFE
programs. A sample of 360 cases per
year is pulled in the ten states with the
smallest UI program workloads (defined
as the average annual UI weeks paid
during the last five years) and 480 cases
per year in the other states. State BAM
staff audit each selected claim,
examining all aspects of a claimant’s
eligibility to receive UI benefits during
the sampled week. The findings are
entered into an automated database that
is maintained on a computer located in
each state.
Denied Claims Accuracy (DCA). Each
week states select random samples from
three separate sampling frames
constructed from the universes of UI
claims for which eligibility was denied
for monetary, separation and
nonseparation reasons. All states sample
a minimum of 150 cases of each denial
type in each calendar year. State BAM
staff review agency records and contact
claimants, employers, and all other
relevant parties to verify information in
agency records or obtain additional
information pertinent to the
determination that denied eligibility for
UI benefits. Unlike the investigation of
paid claims, in which all prior
determinations affecting claimant
eligibility for the compensated week
selected for the sample are evaluated,
the investigation of denied claims is
limited to the issue upon which the
denial determination is based. The
findings are entered into an automated
database that is maintained on a
computer located in each state.
The Department maintains a database
of each state’s BAM paid and denied
claims cases, minus any personally
identifying information. The
Department uses BAM data to measure
state performance with respect to UI
payment integrity and to meet the
Department’s reporting requirements of
the Improper Payments Information Act
