The Unemployment Insurance Data Validation Program requires States to operate a system for ascertaining the validity (adherence to Federal reporting requirements) of specified unemployment insurance data they submit to the Employment and Training Administration on certain reports they are required to submit monthly or quarterly. Some of these data are used to assess performance, including for the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), or determine States' grants for UI administration.

The Revisions to the 227 report released in August 2015 increased the high dollar overpayment threshold to $25,000 which is captured on the ETA 227 report. These changes were made to report UI overpayments that exceeded $25,000 made to a single individual in his/her current claim series (High Dollar Overpayments); validating this change required modifications to DV Populations 12. This change is outlined below. Documentation. The key documents detailing the changes in DV will be incorporated in the ETA Handbook 361, Benefits or the ETA Handbook 411, DV Operations Guide. Outline of Changes by Population: 1. Population 12. This population validates Section A of the 227 report, Overpayments Established by Cause . For purposes of completing ETA 227, High Dollar Overpayments occur when total overpayments to an individual on a claim exceeds $25,000. Overpayments may be a single overpayment or multiple overpayments established during or prior to the reporting quarter; however, the high dollar overpayment is reported for the quarter in which the cumulative amount overpaid to an individual on a claim exceeds $25,000. The changes for instructions for lines 112 and 113 on the ETA 227 reflect the changes in the definition of High Dollar Overpayments. • Line 112. High Dollar Fraud Overpayment. Report those fraud cases and dollar amounts of overpayments for a claim that exceeds $25,000 during the reporting quarter. Overpayments may be for a single overpayment or for multiple overpayments established during or prior to the reporting quarter. The high dollar overpayment is reported for the quarter in which the cumulative amount overpaid exceeds $25,000. If an overpayment exceeds $25,000, but part is fraud and part is non-fraud, report the fraud portion on line 112 and the non-fraud portion on line 113. A case count will be reported on the line with the higher dollar amount. If the amounts are equal, a case count will be reported on the fraud line (112). • Line 113 High Dollar Non-Fraud Overpayment. Report those non-fraud cases and dollar amounts of overpayments for a claim that exceeds $25,000 during the reporting quarter. Overpayments may be for a single overpayment or for multiple overpayments established during or prior to the reporting quarter. The high dollar overpayment is reported for the quarter in which the cumulative amount overpaid exceeds $25,000. If an overpayment exceeds $25,000, but part is fraud and part is non-fraud, report the fraud portion on line 112 and the non-fraud portion on line 113. A case count will be reported on the line with the higher dollar amount. If the amounts are equal, a case count will be reported on the fraud line (112). Reporting accurate data in lines 112 and 113 is important to meeting the requirements of Executive Order 13520, Reducing Improper Payments and Reducing Waste in Federal Programs. Due to the high level of automation and routine nature of the DV program, state procedures normalize and account for the change in hour burden figures.
