III. b. 6. C. Use of Unemployment Insurance (UI) Wage Record Data
Explain how the State will meet the requirements to utilize quarterly UI wage records for performance accountability, evaluations, and as a source for workforce and labor market information, consistent with Federal and State law. (This Operational Planning element applies to core programs.)
Current Narrative:
Indiana’s Research and Analysis Data Warehouse and longitudinal data systems currently integrate and match UI wage records for employment outcomes and performance accountability reporting. This same system (RADW) has been used for additional labor market information analysis supporting the Bureau of Labor Statistics programs and to inform the labor market information website, tools, and ad hoc research questions. The DWD Performance Reporting and Data Integrity unit also uses UI Wage Record Data for Federal Performance Metrics and other programmatic evaluations and analyses upon request.
Only individuals within the allowed categories are allowed to see individual confidential UI data and only aggregate UI data is shared with anyone not allowed by UI Confidentiality laws to access. This is accomplished in part by use of SWIS Agreement in allowing access and the sharing of UI data.
