B. Purpose

Form ETA 2112 is a monthly summary of transactions in a state unemployment fund which consists of the Clearing Account, Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF) Account, and Benefit Payment Account. All payments by employers (and employees where applicable) into a state unemployment fund for contributions, payments in lieu of contributions, and special assessments should be accounted for in the report. Penalty and interest should be reported if deposited into the clearing account and transferred to the UTF. Funds received from the Federal Employees Compensation Account (FECA) and the Extended Unemployment Compensation Account (EUCA) as advances or reimbursements for Federal benefit obligations paid through the benefit payment account should be identified and reported in appropriate line items. All funds deposited into, transferred, or paid from the state unemployment fund (the state clearing account, the state account in the UTF, and the state benefit payment account) should be reflected on the ETA 2112 except for payments/benefits paid under the Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) and Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) programs. Form ETA 2112 provides a summary of data pertaining to state unemployment insurance (UI) tax collections, regular benefits paid, Federal and state shares of Extended Benefits (EB) paid, Federal temporary program benefits paid, and other transactions affecting the UTF. In addition, it reflects specific areas where adjustments are indicated to determine the adequacy of resources available for regular unemployment benefit payments. Data from this form are also used with data from other statistical reports to study trends in financial aspects of the UI program and as a basis for solvency studies.

C. Due Date and Transmittal

This report is due the 1^st day of the second month following the month of reference and will be transmitted electronically.

D. General Reporting Instructions

The data used in preparing the ETA 2112 must be obtained from the books of the state. A properly completed ETA 2112 will accurately show the net result of all transactions in the three accounts comprising the state unemployment fund as they appear in each state’s records.

Edit checks can be found in Handbook 402, Unemployment Insurance Required Reports Users Manual, Appendix C.
