DATES:
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
As part of
continuing efforts to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, DOL conducts
a pre-clearance consultation program to
provide the general public and Federal
agencies an opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing collections
of information before submitting them
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for final approval. This program
helps to ensure requested data is
provided in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
the impact of collection requirements
can be properly assessed.
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 unemployment insurance (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 DOL 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 SWA is able to estimate
reliably the number and dollar value of
proper and improper payments; the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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. 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, and UCFE
programs. A sample of 360 cases per
year are pulled in the 10 SWAs 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 SWA. SWA 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 SWA.
Denied Claims Accuracy (DCA). Each
week, SWAs 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 SWAs
sample a minimum of 150 cases of each
denial type in each calendar year.
SWAs’ BAM staff members 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 SWA.
DOL maintains a database of each
SWA’s BAM paid and denied claims
cases, minus any personally identifying
information. DOL uses BAM data to
measure SWA performance with respect
to UI payment integrity and to meet the
DOL’s reporting requirements of the
Improper Payments Information Act of
2002 (IPIA), the Improper Payments
Elimination and Recovery Act of 2010,
and the Government Performance and
Results Act. DOL also relies heavily on
BAM data for information on UI
operations, such as claims filing
method, UI wage replacement rates, and
claimant characteristics. The results of
the BAM survey are reported annually
on the ETA website at the following
