ADVISORY: UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE PROGRAM LETTER NO. 13-12
TO: STATE WORKFORCE AGENCIES
FROM: JANE OATES /s/
Assistant Secretary
SUBJECT: Procedures for the Completion and Publication of Unemployment
Insurance (UI) Benefit Accuracy Measurement (BAM) Data for
Calendar Year (CY) 2011
1. Purpose. To provide State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) with guidelines and key dates for the
completion of CY 2011 UI BAM paid and denied claims sample cases and the publication of CY
2011 BAM data.
2. References.
ET Handbook No. 395, 5th edition. Revisions to the State Operations Handbook for the
Unemployment Insurance (UI) Benefit Accuracy Measurement (BAM) Program (BAM
State Operations Handbook) and
20 CFR Part 602.
3. Completion of CY 2011 BAM Cases. Chapter VI of ET Handbook No. 395 requires: “a
minimum of 98 percent of cases for the year must be completed within 120 days of the ending
date of the calendar year.” All published BAM data will be based on CY 2011 BAM paid and
denied claims cases that have been signed off by the BAM supervisor by the date of record --
close of business (COB) April 30, 2012.
Changes to the state’s database subsequent to the date of record can result in inconsistencies with
the U.S. Department of Labor’s (Department) database that must be reconciled before BAM data
can be published. SWAs must not reopen any CY 2011 BAM cases after April 30, 2012, until
they have reviewed the BAM data transmitted to them by the Department and have confirmed
that these data agree with the BAM paid and denied claims accuracy data produced by the state’s
database.
4. Transmittal of Data and Comment Period. The Department’s Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) national office will produce and transmit to each state by May 15, 2012,
paid and denied claims accuracy data, based on the CY 2011 BAM cases as of COB April 30,
2012. SWAs are encouraged to run the BAM paid claims Annual Report, denied claims Error
Rates Report, and Improper Denials Rates Report software and to compare the results with the
rates and report footnotes the Department transmits to them for comment prior to publication.
RESCISSIONS EXPIRATION DATE
None March 13, 2013
Prior to the date of record, the Department will transmit a footnote lookup table for the CY 2011
BAM paid claims Annual Report, denied claims Error Rates Report, and Improper Denials Rates
Report. Facsimiles of these reports, report definitions, and report footnotes are available in
Attachments 1 and 2.
During the week of May 21 through May 25, 2012, the Department will present an informational
webinar regarding the CY 2011 BAM Annual Report. The webinar will examine the BAM
procedures, process, various estimates derived from the data, and performance measures. The
webinar invitation will be distributed by e-mail.
By June 1, 2012, SWAs should report any discrepancies or submit questions concerning the
BAM paid and denied claims data and footnotes to ETA’s national office, with a copy to the
appropriate ETA Regional Administrator. Comments should be sent to Ross Miller by
e-mail ([email protected]), fax (202) 693-3975, or mail:
Mr. Ross Miller
U. S. Department of Labor
ETA / Office of Unemployment Insurance
200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Room S-4519
Washington, D.C. 20210
National office and regional office staff will address and reconcile issues raised by the states by
June 15, 2012.
5. Federal Publication of BAM Data. The Department will publish a CY 2011 BAM analytical
report on the ETA Web site: http://oui.doleta.gov/unemploy/index.asp. States should refer to
the CY 2010 analytical report, which is available at:
http://www.workforcesecurity.doleta.gov/unemploy/bam/2010/bam-cy2010.pdf, for the types of
analyses that will be included in the CY 2011 publication.
If a SWA fails to follow the BAM methodology regarding sample selection, data collection, or
case completion timeliness, as prescribed in ET Handbook No. 395, to such an extent that the
data are not reliable, the Department will publish an explanation of the major deficiencies in lieu
of BAM data for that state. SWAs must address these deficiencies through the State Quality
Service Plan process.
Although UIPL No. 19-96 announced the elimination of the requirement in 20 CFR 602.21(g)
that states release BAM data publicly, states may choose to release their BAM data to the public
independent of the Federal release.
6. Key Dates. The following key dates are the latest dates for completing the task or action:
4/13/12 - SWAs submit requests for waivers of BAM paid and denied claims timeliness
requirements, along with supporting documentation, to the appropriate ETA
Regional Administrator.
4/20/12 - Regional offices respond to states on the disposition of state requests for
waivers of BAM timeliness requirements.
4/23/12 - The national office electronically transmits the footnote lookup table for the
BAM paid and denied claims software to each state's Unemployment Insurance
Database System (Sun Server).
4/30/12 - Each SWA checks its UI database: 1) to ensure that the BAM supervisor has
signed off all BAM paid and denied claims cases which investigators have
completed; and 2) to ensure that reopened cases have been updated and data
errors corrected by this date. Cases closed by supervisors after April 30, 2012,
will not be included in the Paid Claims Accuracy Annual Report or the Denied
Claim Accuracy Error Rates and Improper Denials Rates Reports. SWAs must
not reopen any CY 2011 cases after April 30, 2012, until they have reviewed
the BAM data transmitted by the national office and verified the data against
their state database or reconciled any differences with the Department.
5/15/12 - The national office transmits the CY 2011 BAM data to the State
Administrators.
5/21/12 - During the week of May 21 through May 25, 2012, the Department will present
an informational webinar. The webinar will examine the BAM procedures,
process, various estimates derived from the data, and performance measures.
The webinar invitation will be distributed by e-mail. The webinar will be
repeated several times to accommodate participants’ schedules.
6/01/12 - SWAs review BAM paid and denied claims accuracy data and footnotes, and
report any discrepancies or submit questions concerning the BAM data or
footnotes to the national office (to the attention of Mr. Ross Miller, as
discussed in Section 4 of this guidance), with copies to the appropriate ETA
Regional Administrator.
6/15/12 - National and regional office staff address issues raised by the states and
reconcile any differences between state and Department’s BAM data.
6/15/12 - SWAs provide the name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address of the
contact person(s) for public inquiries concerning BAM paid and denied claims
data. This information should be sent to the attention of Mr. Ross Miller at the
address, e-mail address, or fax provided in Section 4 of this guidance, with
copies to the appropriate ETA Regional Administrator.
8/31/12 - The Department publishes the CY 2011 BAM data on the ETA Web site:
http://oui.doleta.gov/unemploy/index.asp.
7. Action Requested. State Administrators are requested to:
A. Provide copies of these guidelines to the appropriate staff;
B. Send any request for a waiver of BAM timeliness requirements to the appropriate
ETA Regional Administrator by COB April 13, 2012; and
C. Ensure that the national office (to the attention of Mr. Ross Miller, as discussed in
Section 4 of this guidance) and the appropriate ETA Regional Administrator are:
1. Notified by June 1, 2012, of any issues that require the reconciliation of
differences between the state’s and the Department’s BAM data; and
2. Provided by June 15, 2012, with the name, address, telephone number, and e-mail
address of the person(s) whom interested parties may contact with questions or
inquiries about the state's BAM data.
8. Inquiries. Questions should be directed to the appropriate regional office.

amount overpaid cannot exceed the amount paid coded in data element f13 in the b_master table.
BAM Annual Report Definitions
Total Dollars Paid in Population
Total UI benefits paid to the population of UI claimants who constitute the sampling frames for
all weeks in CY 2011 for which the state pulled a BAM sample, adjusted to exclude UI
payments that do not meet the definition of the BAM population (for example, supplemental
payments or payments made for Extended Unemployment Compensation (EUC) claims). These
excluded cases are coded “8” (EUC) or “9” (all other excluded records) in the program code data
element (c1) in the b_master table of the UI database.
Sample Size
Total UI payments selected during CY 2011 (BAM batches 201101 through 201153) and
completed (supervisor sign-off) by COB April 30, 2012, excluding cases that do not meet the
BAM population definition. This is the number of BAM sample cases from which the payment
accuracy rates and confidence intervals are estimated.
Proper Payments
The weighted ratio estimate of total dollars properly paid to total dollars paid expressed as a
percentage.
Overpayments
The weighted ratio estimate of total dollars overpaid to total dollars paid expressed as a
percentage.
Underpayments
The weighted ratio estimate of total dollars underpaid to total dollars paid expressed as a
percentage.
Weighting Procedures
UI benefits properly paid, overpaid, and underpaid for each batch with at least two completed
paid claims cases are weighted by the batch population, adjusted to exclude cases that do not
meet the BAM definition (program code “8” or “9”). The accuracy rates are the ratios of these
weighted benefits, summed for all batches. Batches with only one completed case are merged to
ensure that each batch has a minimum of two completed cases.
95 Percent Confidence Interval
A confidence interval, expressed as +/- x percentage points, is constructed for each of the three
estimated rates. The actual rate is expected to lie within 95 percent of the intervals constructed
from repeated samples of the same size and selected in the same manner as the BAM sample.
BAM Paid Claims Accuracy Footnotes
Footnote 1
Claimants failing to conduct required work search were given formal warnings and no
overpayment was established. The proper payment rate would be lower and the overpayment
rate would be higher if these cases were counted as erroneous payments.
Condition: Any CY 2011 BAM case with key week action code '14' in field ei2 of the b_errisu
table of the UI database.
Footnote 2
Percentages apply to less than a complete year of UI payments due to the state not pulling a
sample for x weeks.
Condition: There is no record in the b_comparison table of the UI database for one or more
BAM batches 201101 through 201153.
Note: If a state requested and received permission from the Department to suspend BAM
sampling temporarily due to workload contingencies the footnote will reflect that the Department
concurred with the suspension.
Footnote 3
The state selected samples that were below the minimum prescribed levels for x weeks.
Condition: State selected one or more BAM weekly samples below the minimum level
prescribed in Benefit Accuracy Measurement State Operations Handbook, ET Handbook No.
395, chapter VI, p. 11. Sampled cases that fail to meet the BAM population definition are
counted toward meeting the minimum weekly sample.
The minimum weekly and quarterly samples, based on current annual sample allocations are:
Sample Annual Normal Minimum Normal Minimum
Allocation Weekly Weekly Quarterly Quarterly
Paid Claims 360* 7 5 90 81
Paid Claims 480 9 6 120 108
Denials 150/450** 3 2 37-38 32
* Allocation for ten smallest states in terms of UI workload.
** 150 cases each of monetary, separation, and non-separation denials will be selected each year,
for a total of 450 DCA cases.
Note: If a state requested and received permission from the Department to reduce BAM sample
sizes temporarily due to workload contingencies, the footnote will reflect that the Department
concurred with the reduction.
Footnote 4
Percentages based on data collection procedures that were not completely in accordance with the
program methodology prescribed in ET Handbook No. 395.
Condition: Based on program monitoring conducted by the regional and national offices.
Footnote 5
The state completed x percent of the cases within 90 days. The program standard is 95 percent
completed within 90 days.
Condition: State failed to meet case completion objectives established in Benefit Accuracy
Measurement State Operations Handbook, ET Handbook No. 395, chapter VI, p. 11. Cases not
meeting the BAM population definition are not counted in calculating state time lapse rates.
Footnote 6
x percent of the sample cases were not completed when this report was prepared. This exceeded
the program requirement that no more than 2 percent of the cases for the year remain incomplete.
Condition: The percentage is based on the number of BAM cases that were not completed (no
supervisor sign-off) by COB April 30, 2012, divided by the number of valid cases selected for
BAM weekly samples during CY 2011 (BAM batches 201101 through 201153). Cases that do
not meet the BAM population definition are not counted in calculating state case completion
rates.
Footnote 7
The annual sample for [state] is x cases below the allocated annual sample for the state. The
precision of the data might be reduced due to the failure to sample at the prescribed level.
Condition: The state's annual sample selection is 60 or more cases (one-half staff year) below its
allocated annual sample (for BAM paid claims, one staff year equals 120 cases). Cases that do
not meet the BAM population definition are counted toward meeting the annual sample
allocation.
Note: If a state requested and received permission from the Department to reduce BAM sample
sizes temporarily due to workload contingencies, the footnote will reflect that the Department
concurred with the reduction.
Footnote 8
The population from which the BAM sample was selected did not include all of the UI benefits
paid. This limits the degree to which inferences about the population can be made from BAM
data.
Condition: The dollars paid in the BAM population for CY 2011 vary from the dollars paid
reported in the state's ETA 5159 Claims and Payment Activities reports by more than the
statistical control limit.

BAM Denied Claims Accuracy Rates Report Definitions
Population
The number of denial determinations that constitute the sampling frames for all weeks in CY
2011 for which the state pulled a BAM DCA sample, adjusted to exclude agency actions that do
not meet the definition of the BAM DCA population (for example, monetary redeterminations,
nonmonetary determinations that are not reportable on the ETA 207 and 9052 reports, and
denied EUC claims). These excluded cases are coded “8” (EUC) or “9” (all other excluded
records) in the Program code data element in the b_dca_master table of the UI database. The
software also adjusts the DCA populations to exclude two types of cases for which there is no
denial issue to investigate: 1) cases in which monetary eligibility was established upon receipt
of Combined Wage Claims, Alternative Base Period Claims, Unemployment Compensation for
Federal Employees, and/or Unemployment Compensation for Ex-service Members wage credits
within the two-week sampling lag (Action Code Flag “0”); and 2) claims withdrawn by the
claimant (Action Code Flag “8”).
Sample Size
Total DCA cases selected during CY 2011 (BAM batches 201101 through 201153) and
completed (supervisor sign-off) by COB April 30, 2012, excluding cases that do not meet the
BAM DCA population definition. This is the number of BAM DCA sample cases from which
the accuracy rates are estimated.
Improper Denial Rate
The weighted proportion of denied claims for which the DCA investigation concluded that the
claimant should have been eligible for UI benefits or was underpaid UI benefits (Error Issue
Action Code = “20”, “21”, “22”, or “23”), expressed as a percentage.
Adjusted Improper Denial Rate
Improper Denial Rate excluding cases in which erroneous denials were corrected by the agency
(Prior Agency Action = “20” to “29” or eligibility was established through appeal (Results of
Appeal of Initial Determination = “1” or “3”) prior to DCA case completion.
Overpayment Rate
The weighted proportion of denied claims for which the DCA investigation concluded that the
claimant should have been ineligible for UI benefits for weeks that had been paid (Error Issue
Action Code = “10”, “11”, “12”, “13”, “14”, “15”, or “16”), expressed as a percentage.
Proper Denial Rate
The weighted proportion of denied claims for which the DCA investigation concluded that the
claimant was properly denied but for the wrong or different section of the law (Error Issue
Action Code = “30”), expressed as a percentage.
Weighting Procedures
Accuracy rates are computed separately for each batch with at least two completed DCA cases
and weighted by the batch population, adjusted to exclude cases that do not meet the BAM DCA
definition (Program code “8” or “9”) or cases with Action Codes “0” (monetary eligibility
established upon receipt of CWC, UCFE, and/or UCX wage credits) or “8” (withdrawn claims).
The accuracy rate equals the sum of the products of the batch rates and weights. Batches with
only one completed case are merged to insure that each batch has a minimum of two completed
cases.
95 Percent Confidence Interval
A confidence interval, expressed as +/- x percentage points, is constructed for each of the
estimated accuracy rates. The actual rate is expected to lie within 95 percent of the intervals
constructed from repeated samples of the same size and selected in the same manner as the BAM
sample.
BAM Denied Claims Accuracy Footnotes
Footnote 1
Estimated rates apply to less than the total population of [sample type] denials due to the state
not pulling a sample for x weeks.
Condition: There is no record in the b_dca_comparison table of the UI database for one or more
batches specified in the batch range for sample type y, where b_dca_comparison.samptype = 2
(monetary), 3 (separation), or 4 (nonseparation).
Footnote 2
Estimated rates for [sample type] denials are based on data collection procedures that were not
completely in accordance with the program methodology prescribed in ET Handbook No. 395.
Condition: Based on program monitoring conducted by the Department of Labor regional and
national offices. This footnote will be generated from a footnote look-up table for each sample
type: 2 (monetary), 3 (separation), or 4 (nonseparation).
Footnote 3
The state completed x percent of the [sample type] denials sample cases within 90 days. The
program standard is 85 percent completed within 90 days.
Condition: The percentage for sample type y, where b_dca_master.samptype = 2 (monetary), 3
(separation), or 4 (nonseparation), will be calculated using the same method used in the BAM
DCA Case Completion and Time Lapse report. Cases not meeting the BAM DCA population
definition (b_dca_master.program = 8 or 9) or withdrawn claims (b_dca_master.actflag = 8)
are not counted in calculating state time lapse rates.
Footnote 4
x percent of the [sample type] denials sample cases were not completed when this report was
prepared. This exceeds the program requirement that no more than 2 percent of the cases for the
year are incomplete 120 days after the end of the calendar year.
Condition: The percentage is based on the number of BAM DCA cases that were not completed
(b_dca_master.supcomp is NULL) by COB April 30, YYYY+1 (April 29 if YYYY+1 is a leap
year), divided by the number of valid cases selected for BAM DCA weekly samples during CY
YYYY (BAM batches YYYY01 through YYYY52 or YYYY53). Cases that do not meet the
BAM DCA population definition (b_dca_master.program = 8 or 9) or withdrawn claims
(b_dca_master.actflag = 8) are not counted in calculating state case completion rates. A
percentage will be calculated for each sample type y, where b_dca_master.samptype = 2
(monetary), 3 (separation), or 4 (nonseparation).
This footnote will be generated only if the user specifies an annual report for CY YYYY or the
user specifies the batch range YYYY01 to YYYY52 (or YYYY53).
Footnote 5
The annual sample of [sample type] denials is x cases below the allocated annual sample of 150
BAM DCA cases per year. The precision of the data might be reduced due to the failure to
sample at the prescribed level.
Condition: The state's annual sample selection is 38 or more cases below its allocated annual
sample of 150 cases). Cases that do not meet the BAM population definition
(b_dca_master.program = 8 or 9) are not counted toward meeting the annual sample allocation.
This footnote will be generated from a footnote look-up table for each sample type: 2
(monetary), 3 (separation), or 4 (nonseparation).
This footnote will be generated only if the user specifies an annual report for CY YYYY or the
user specifies the batch range YYYY01 to YYYY52 (or YYYY53).
Footnote 6
The sampling frames from which the [sample type] denials samples were selected may not
include all of the determinations that meet the definition for inclusion in the DCA population or
may include records that do not meet the DCA population definition. This limits the degree to
which inferences about the population can be made from BAM DCA data.
Condition: The size of the DCA population for CY 2011 varies by more than the statistical
control limit from the benchmark population. The benchmark populations are:
Monetary: Percent of determinations denied in ETA 218 report times number of new initial
claims (intrastate and interstate liable) plus transitional claims in ETA 5159 report.
Separation: Percent of determinations denied in ETA 207 report times number of separations in
ETA 9052 report.
