Form ETA-227 is a quarterly data
collection concerned with identifying fraud. Data cells describe
fraud identified through tools (State and National Directories of
New Hires) and break out fraud cases in the Federal-State Extended
Benefits program.
This ICR does not seek approval
for discretionary changes. The Department must make changes to the
ETA 227 reporting instructions to comply with Executive Order
13520, Reducing Improper Payments; the Trade Adjustment Assistance
Extension Act of 2012 (TAAEA), as well as to provide reporting
instructions for preexisting cells, which had not been previously
provided. There are no changes in the burden estimate other than
the one time burden for programming the changes to this
report.
