UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE PROGRAM LETTER NO. 12-08
TO:
STATE WORKFORCE AGENCIES
FROM:
DOUGLAS F. SMALL
Deputy A ssistant Secretary
SUBJECT:
Establishing an Acceptable Level of Performance (ALP) for the
Unemployment Insurance (UI) Reemployment Rate Measure
1. Purpose. To solicit comments on the proposed definition for the UI Performs core
measure, “Facilitate the Reemployment of UI Claimants,” and the approach used for
setting the ALP.
2. References. Unemployment Insurance Program Letter (UIPL) No. 14-05, “Changes
to UI Performs,” (February 18, 2005); UIPL 1-06, “Collection of Data on the
Facilitation of Reemployment of Unemployment Insurance (UI) Benefit Recipients”
(October 6, 2005); Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 24-05, Change
1, “Baseline Value and the Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 Target for the Indicator used for the
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Goal to Facilitate the
Reemployment of Unemployment Insurance (UI) Claimants,” (January 19, 2007).
3. Background. In March 2006, states began submitting data on the number of
beneficiaries who received a UI first benefit payment in one quarter and for whom
earnings were reported in the quarter following their first payment. These data were
used to calculate a baseline for the UI GPRA reemployment rate measure. In TEGL
24-05, Change 1, ETA announced that the baseline reemployment rate was 62.4%, and
set the fiscal year (FY) 2007 GPRA Facilitate Reemployment goal at 65%. The TEGL
also advised states that the development of a UI Performs measure “with a criterion
by which to assess individual states’ success in facilitating UI reemployment” was in
progress.
Each calendar quarter, on the ETA 9047 report, states report separate counts for
beneficiaries receiving first payments who are exempt from work
search/employment service registration “exempt”, in most cases because they are
job-attached with definite recall dates, and those who must conduct work search or
register “nonexempt”. They also report on the ETA 9047 report the number of
RESCISSIONS
