Alert Memorandum: The Employment and Training Administration Needs to Issue Guidance to Ensure State Workforce Agencies Provide Requested Unemployment Insurance Data to the Office of Inspector General

Full Details: Oversight.gov Report Page

1 - Open

We recommend the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Employment and Training: Amend 20 CFR 603.5 and 603.6(a) through the rulemaking process to reinforce that UI information must be provided to DOL OIG for all IG engagements authorized under the IG Act, including audits, evaluations, and investigations.

2 - Open

We recommend the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Employment and Training: Issue a new UIPL within 15 days of this memorandum to instruct SWAs that disclosure of information to the OIG for audits, evaluations, and investigations is mandatory without need for a subpoena, and that the OIG will notify SWAs directly of current and future information disclosure requirements, to include data elements.

3 - Open

We recommend the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Employment and Training: Ensure the new UIPL guidance advises SWAs that they may not require the OIG to enter into data sharing agreements as a prerequisite to disclosure of information to the OIG for audits, consistent with the IG Act and federal law.

4 - Closed

We recommend the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Employment and Training: Ensure revisions to UIPL 04-17 advise SWAs that data sharing agreements are not required when sharing UI claim and wage data with the OIG for fraud investigations. The revised UIPL should make clear that SWAs shall share UI claim and wage data with the OIG for fraud detection and investigative purposes, not limiting the sharing to investigations into a particular instance of suspected UI fraud.

5 - Closed

We recommend the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Employment and Training: Continue to work with the OIG, and within 30 days of the memorandum, meet with the OIG to develop a permanent approach for OIG access to UI data.
