ADVISORY: UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE PROGRAM LETTER NO. 16-09
TO: STATE WORKFORCE AGENCIES
FROM: DOUGLAS F. SMALL /s/
Deputy Assistant Secretary
SUBJECT: Procedures for the Completion and Publication of Unemployment
Insurance (UI) Benefit Accuracy Measurement (BAM) Data for
Calendar Year (CY) 2008
1. Purpose. To provide State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) with guidelines and key
dates for the completion of CY 2008 UI BAM paid and denied claims sample cases
and the publication of CY 2008 BAM data.
2. References. Benefit Accuracy Measurement State Operations Handbook (ET
Handbook No. 395, 4th edition), and 20 CFR 602.
3. Completion of CY 2008 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 2008 BAM paid and denied claims cases that have been signed off by the BAM
supervisor by the date of record -- close of business (c.o.b.) April 30, 2009. Changes
to the state’s database subsequent to the date of record can result in inconsistencies
with the Department of Labor’s (DOL) database which must be reconciled before
BAM data can be published. SWAs must not reopen any CY 2008 BAM cases after
April 30, 2009, until they have reviewed the BAM data transmitted to them by DOL
and have confirmed that the data agrees with the BAM paid and denied claims
accuracy data produced by the state’s database. Procedures for resolving differences
between DOL and state BAM data are discussed in section 4.
RESCISSIONS EXPIRATION DATE
None March 5, 2010
- 2 -
4. Transmittal of Data and Comment Period. The DOL National Office will produce
and transmit to each state by May 15, 2009, paid and denied claims accuracy data,
based on the CY 2008 BAM cases as of c.o.b. April 30, 2009. 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 DOL transmits to them for comment prior to publication. Prior
to the date of record, DOL will transmit a footnote lookup table for the CY 2008
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.
SWAs should report any discrepancies or submit questions concerning the BAM
paid and denied claims data and footnotes to the National Office, with a copy to the
appropriate Regional Administrator by June 5, 2009. 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 Workforce Security
200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Room S-4522
Washington, DC 20210
National and Regional Office staff will address and reconcile issues raised by the
states by June 19, 2009.
5. Federal Publication of BAM Data. DOL will publish a CY 2008 BAM analytical
report on the ETA Web site: http://workforcesecurity.doleta.gov. States should
refer to the CY 2007 analytical report, which is available at:
http://www.workforcesecurity.doleta.gov/unemploy/bam/2007/bam-cy2007.pdf,
for the types of analyses that will be included in the CY 2008 publication.
If a SWA fails to follow the BAM methodology regarding sample selection, data
collection, or case completion timeliness prescribed in ET Handbook No. 395 to such
an extent that the data are not reliable, DOL 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.
- 3 -
6. Key Dates. The following key dates for the public release of CY 2008 BAM data are
the latest that the task or action must be completed:
4/10/09 SWAs submit requests for waivers of BAM paid and denied claims
timeliness requirements, along with supporting documentation, to the
appropriate ETA Regional Administrator.
4/17/09 Regional Offices respond to states on the disposition of state requests for
waivers of BAM timeliness requirements.
4/24/09 The National Office electronically transmits the footnote lookup table for
the BAM paid and denied claims software to each state's Unemployment
Insurance Data Base System (Sun Server).
4/30/09 Each SWA checks its UI database to: 1) ensure that the BAM supervisor
has signed off all BAM paid and denied claims cases which investigators
have completed; and 2) reopen any case in order to update information or
correct any data errors. Cases closed by supervisors after April 30, 2009,
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 2008 cases after April 30, 2009, 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 DOL.
5/15/09 The National Office transmits the CY 2008 BAM data to the state
administrators.
6/05/09 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), with copies to the appropriate ETA
Regional Administrator.
6/19/09 National and Regional Office staff address issues raised by the states and
reconcile any differences between state and DOL BAM data.
6/19/09 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

the amount paid coded in data element f13 in the b_master table.
Attachment 1
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 2008 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 2008 (BAM batches 200801 through 200852) and
completed (supervisor sign-off) by c.o.b. April 30, 2009, 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
insure that each batch has a minimum of two completed cases.
95 Percent Confidence Interval
Attachment 1
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.
Attachment 1
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 2008 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 200801 through 200852.
Note: If a state requested and received permission from DOL to temporarily suspend BAM
sampling due to workload contingencies the footnote will reflect that DOL 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 III, p. 27. Sampled cases that fail to meet the BAM population definition are
counted toward meeting the minimum weekly sample.
Note: If a state requested and received permission from DOL to temporarily reduce BAM
sample sizes due to workload contingencies, the footnote will reflect that DOL 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 DOL regional and national offices.
Attachment 1
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. 7. 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 c.o.b. April 30, 2009, divided by the number of valid cases selected for
BAM weekly samples during CY 2008 (BAM batches 200801 through 200852). 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 DOL to temporarily reduce BAM
sample sizes due to workload contingencies, the footnote will reflect that DOL 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 2008 vary from the dollars paid
reported in the state's ETA 5159 Claims and Payment Activities reports by more than the
statistical control limit.

Attachment 2
BAM Denied Claims Accuracy Rates Report Definitions
Population
The number of denial determinations that constitute the sampling frames for all weeks in CY
2008 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, 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 2008 (BAM batches 200801 through 200852) and
completed (supervisor sign-off) by c.o.b. April 30, 2009, 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
Attachment 2
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.
Attachment 2
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.
Attachment 2
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 c.o.b. 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).
Attachment 2
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 2008 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.
Nonseparation: Percent of determinations denied in ETA 207 report times number of
nonseparations in ETA 9052 report.
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).
