                 Accuracy Measurement (BAM) Paid Claims Accuracy (PCA) and

    1. Purpose. To inform state workforce agencies of a revised and expanded
     series of BAM PCA/DCA questions and answers available on the
     Employment and Training Administration Web site, which supersedes
     questions and answers previously issued in Unemployment Insurance
     Program Letter (UIPL) No. 28-02 (June 10, 2002) and UIPL No. 45-01 (July
     27, 2001).

    2. References. Benefit Accuracy Measurement State Operations Handbook, ET
     Handbook (HB) No. 395, 4th Edition; UIPL No. 08-87, “Answers to Questions
     and Comments Raised Concerning the UI/QC Program” (February 11, 1987)
     and Change 1 (September 18, 1987), Change 2 (February 25, 1988), Change
     3 (January 24, 1989), and Change 4 (January 18, 2001).

    3. Background. The new series addresses coding issues and supplements HB
     395, the principal resource for instructions concerning the operation of the
     BAM program. The questions and answers are presented in the order of the
     chapter citation from HB 395 and include pertinent questions and answers
     previously issued in UIPLs No. 45-01 and No. 28-02.

      The new question and answer series does not supersede the referenced
      series of questions and answers published in UIPL No. 08-87, which remains
      a useful source for guidance.
