ETA 9052 Nonmonetary Determination Time Lapse, Detection Date

B.

Purpose
The ETA 9052 report contains monthly information on the time it take States to issue
nonmonetary determinations from the date the issues are first detected by the
agency. Single-claimant and multi-claimant nonmonetary determinations are included
in the report. Nonmonetary determinations made by organizational units such as
Benefits Accuracy Measurement (BAM) and Benefit Payment Control (BPC) are also
included in the report. Note: Overpayment notices on uncontested earnings detected
by any method (e.g., crossmatch) should not be included. A separate section of this
report is reserved for multi-claimant determinations only.

C.

Due Date and Transmittal
The report is due in the ETA National Office on the 20th of the month following the
month to which the data relates. This report will be transmitted electronically.

D.

General Reporting Instructions
The Nonmonetary Determination Time Lapse measure requires that the State
computer read the universe of all nonmonetary determination records. These counts
are categorized by Intrastate and Interstate Nonmonetary Determinations and, within
those categories, by the number that are under the State UI program, the
Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE) program, and
Unemployment Compensation for Ex-servicemembers (UCX) program. These
categories are further divided by nonmonetary determination time lapse for singleclaimant separation and nonseparation issues versus multi-claimant issues. These
figures will be equivalent to those reported on the ETA 207 and ETA 9053,
respectively.

E.

`

Excludes episodic claims programs such as Extended Benefits, Disaster
Unemployment Assistance, and Trade Readjustment Allowances.

`

Excludes notice of overpayment determinations detected by any method (e.g.,
crossmatch).

`

Excludes nonmonetary redeterminations.

Definitions
Definitions, unless otherwise specified in these instructions, will be the same
definitions used for the ETA 207 and ETA 9050 found elsewhere in this handbook.
1.

Nonmonetary Determinations Time Lapse. The number of days from the date
an issue is first detected on a claim to the date on the determination.
V-3-5
5/2000

UI REPORTS HANDBOOK NO. 401
ETA 9052 Nonmonetary Determination Time Lapse, Detection Date

2.

Issue Detection Date. The earliest date that the agency, including organizational
units such as BAM and BPC, is in possession of information indicating the
existence of a nonmonetary issue.
a.

New, Additional, or Reopened Claims.
The issue detection date is the date the new, additional, or reopened claim
is filed. If no issue exists at the time a claim is filed but information is later
received that presents an issue, then the issue detection date is the date
this information is received by the agency.
The exception to the above is a case where the claimant fails to file a
timely certification and the State has a policy of waiting for a week to be
claimed prior to making a determination. In such cases, the detection date
for the original unresolved issue(s) is the date the claimant subsequently
files an additional or reopened claim.
In either case described above, if the adjudicator establishes that no issue
exists, there is no reportable nonmonetary determination.

b.

Continued Weeks Claimed. Examples of issue detection date:
1)

Continued claims filed by mail are optically scanned or processed by
a voice response unit (VRU). A claimant reports that he/she was not
able and available for work during the week for which he/she is
claiming benefits. The optical scanner or voice response unit flags
the claim with an issue. An adjudicator confirms the issue. If the
certification is scanned or processed by the VRU during normal
business hours, the date the continued week claim is flagged is the
issue detection date. If the certification is scanned or processed by
the VRU after normal business hours, the next business day is the
issue detection date. If the adjudicator establishes that no issue
actually exists, there is no reportable determination.

2)

Same situation as in example 1 except that the claimant answers all
weekly certification questions in a manner that does not raise an
issue. However, the claimant adds information that is read by the
agency's optical scanner or recognized by the VRU as an exception
to normal processing. The claim is flagged and referred to an
adjudicator. The adjudicator confirms that there is an issue and the
week(s) to which it applies. If the certification is scanned or
processed by the VRU. during normal business hours, the date the
continued claim is flagged is the issue detection date. If the
certification is scanned or processed by the VRU after normal
business hours, the next business day is the issue detection date. If
V-3-6
5/2000

UI REPORTS HANDBOOK NO. 401
ETA 9052 Nonmonetary Determination Time Lapse, Detection Date

the adjudicator establishes that no issue exists, there is no reportable
determination.

3.

F.

3)

The claimant is in a continuous weekly/biweekly filing status and the
agency receives information that presents an issue by letter or
telephone call (other than VRU). The date the agency received the
information is the issue detection date. The agency should keep a
record of the date and time of call and include such information in the
claim file for quality and data validation purposes.

4)

The claimant is in a continuous weekly/biweekly filing status and an
issue is raised in-person by the claimant or another party. The date
the issue is raised (in-person) is the issue detection date.

5)

A unit of the agency (BPC, BAM, Appeals, etc.) discovers an issue
during the course of its work and refers the issue to the adjudication
unit or to some other unit for action. The issue detection date is the
date the unit discovered the issue and not the date the other unit
within the agency receives the referred issue.

Date of Determination. The date printed on the determination notice, or, if no
notice is required, the date payment is authorized, waiting week credit is given,
or an offset is applied.
