Background: A provision to a final UCX rule published in the Federal Register on October 17, 1988, required the SESAs to send, effective November 16, 1988, notices of claims filed and sub-sequent monetary and nonmonetary determinations to the branches of the military and to individuals separated from the Commis-sioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin-istration (NOAA) and the Coast Guard. SESAs were provided with a list of military addresses via UIPL 19-94. Subsequently, the Army has provided a new address for such notices. Action Required: State Administrators should provide the attached list of military addresses to appropriate staff and advise them to immediately discontinue using the list of military liaison addresses provided in UIPL No. 19-94.

Reference: ET Handbook 394, Unemployment Insurance Financial Data 1938-1982. Background: The attached tables contain selected unemployment insurance (UI) financial information for calendar years 1990 (revised), 1991 (revised), and 1992. These tables are a supplement and therefore comparable to those tables contained in the referenced handbook and described in its glossary. Selected data on the Federal-State extended benefits program and on employers on a reimbursable basis are shown separately. All employment and wage data used in these tables were furnished by State Employment Security Agencies (SESAs) and include estimates for some States. Note that columns 02-22 are for taxable employment only; columns 34-43 are for reimbursable employment only; and columns 44-52 contain Federal-State extended benefits information. Note that the source for the information shown in column 9, "Interest credited to trust fund" and column 11, "Reserves as of December 31" is different from the source described in the ET Handbook glossary. The information currently being published reflects data received from U.S. Department of the Treasury UI trust fund reports. These reports allow uniform reporting of year end balances and interest credited to trust fund accounts across States. Although the source of this information has changed, the difference between the sources is negligible, and the data remain comparable to previously published information. This change in definition will be reflected with the release of ET Handbook 394, Unemployment Insurance Financial Data 1938- 1993. Action Required: SESAs are requested to review the attached tables and report any corrections to the National Office by June 30, 1994 (Attention: Tom Stengle, TEURA).

References: ET Handbook 392; ET Handbook 399; Interstate Benefit Payment Plan. Background: Over the past few years, major changes to the procedures for handling the claims of interstate and combined wage claimants have occurred. Changes to both the interstate and intrastate claimstaking methods limit contact with claimants and opportunities for the exchange of information and questions to be answered. These evolving changes increase the need for information pertaining to claimant's rights and responsibilities to be in different and accessible mediums. Under an agreement with the Department of Labor, and in consultation with the Interstate Conference of Employment Security Agencies' Interstate Benefit Committee, the State of Washington has developed and produced an interstate BRRI video and booklet for national distribution. All States were contacted to provide information for consideration during the development of the material. The video has been produced in English, open captioned, and in three Spanish dialects. The informational booklet has been produced in English and Spanish (academic). All States that requested customized versions of the video, to include their specific agent State information, were accommodated. Distribution of Materials: Distribution of the videos and a camera ready copy of the English and Spanish versions of the informational booklets is scheduled for the second and third week of April 1994. The materials will be shipped to the attention of the UI Director for each State under separate cover. The number of copies of the video and language types that will be sent will be based on the quantity requested by each State's representative. The Employment and Training Regional Office will receive a copy of each version of the video and both booklets. Suggested Use of the Materials: It is suggested that copies of the informational booklets be distributed to all local UI offices, Job Service offices, Community Service Centers or One-Stop Service Centers, etc., where claimant contacts are made. These booklets should be included in the information provided by the agent or paying State to each individual filing an interstate or combined wage claim at the time the claim is filed. The videos should be used in providing group benefit rights information, and should also be accessible by claimants on any automated video informational system. Action Required: State Administrators are requested to make this letter available to all appropriate staff and ensure that the materials distributed are used by the State in the manner intended.
