SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 303(a)(6) of the Social
Security Act specifies that the Secretary
of Labor will not certify State UI
programs to receive administrative
grants unless the State’s law includes
provisions for: making of such reports
. . . as the Secretary of Labor may from
time to time require, and compliance
with such provisions as the Secretary
may from time to time find necessary to
assure the correctness and verification
of such reports.
The Department considers data
validation one of those ‘‘provisions . . .
necessary to assure the correctness and
verification’’ of the reports it requires.
The Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) requires
Federal agencies to develop annual and
strategic performance plans that
establish performance goals, have
concrete indicators of the extent that
goals are achieved, and set performance
targets. Each year, the agency is to issue
a report that ‘‘evaluate[s] the
performance plan for the current fiscal
year relative to the performance
achieved toward the performance goals
in the fiscal year covered by the report.’’
Section 1116 (d)(2) of OMB Circular A–
11, which implements the GPRA
process, cites the Reports Consolidation
Act of 2000 to emphasize the need for
data validation by requiring that the
agency’s annual performance report
‘‘contain an assessment of the
completeness and reliability of the
performance data included in it [that]
. . . describes any material
inadequacies in the completeness and
reliability of the data.’’ (OMB Circular
A–11, Section 230.2 (f)). The
Department emphasizes the importance
of complete and accurate information
for program monitoring and improving
program performance.
The UI DV program employs a refined
and automated approach to review 322
elements reported on 13 benefits reports
and one tax report. The Department uses
many of these elements for key
performance measures as well as for
workload analysis.
The validation process assesses the
validity (accuracy) of the counts of
transactions or measurements of status
as follows. Guided by a detailed
handbook, the state first constructs
extract files containing all pertinent
individual transactions for the desired
report period to be validated. These
transactions are grouped into 16 benefits
