Download or read book UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE Enhanced Focus on Program Integrity Could Reduce Overpayments written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our work shows that of the $30 billion in Ul benefits paid in calendar year 2001, Labor estimates that this includes about $2.4 billion in overpayments, including $560 million attributable to fraud or abuse. Labor's analysis also suggests that the states could have detected and/or recovered about $1.3 billion of the total overpayments given their current policies and procedures. Labor based these estimates on data from its quality assurance system, which involves an in-depth analysis of individual Ul claims in each state. Labor's quality assurance data document numerous categories of overpayments, including individuals who work while receiving benefits, or misrepresent their identity. Other sources of overpayments include agency errors and inaccurate or untimely information provided by employers. Our work shows that management and operational practices at both the state and federal level contribute to overpayments in the Ul program. At the state level, many states place a higher priority on quickly processing and paying Ul claims than on taking the necessary steps to adequately verify claimants' initial and continued eligibility for Ul benefits. As a result, we found that many states do not adequately verify information reported by claimants. At the federal level, we found that Labor's policies and directives emphasize quickly processing and paying claims, with only limited attention given to payment accuracy. While we recognize the importance of paying benefits to individuals in a timely manner, Labor's performance measurement system does not provide sufficient incentives and sanctions for states to balance the need for payment timeliness with the need for payment accuracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There are the years that come along once in a generation," writes President Barack Obama in his introductory message to his 2009 budget for the United States of America, "when we look at where the country has been and recognize that we need a break from a troubled past, that the problems we face demand that we begin charting a new path." This governmental report is Obama's comprehensive plan for moving past the "legacy of misplaced priorities" he inherited from the Bush administration in order to jumpstart the U.S. economy and invest for the nation's future. From the Department of Agriculture to the Department of Veteran Affairs, from the literally down-to-earth business of the EPA to the spacebound mission of NASA, here Obama lays out his concrete, pragmatic strategy to move American schools into the 21st century, improve health care while reducing it costs, repair crumbling infrastructure, and rebuild the American economy. Any American who wants to be informed about the most fundamental operations of the nation will want to study this important report. The United States OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET is a Cabinet-level office established in 1921 for the White House oversight of federal agencies. The OMB is currently headed by American economist PETER RICHARD ORSZAG (b. 1968).

Download or read book Unemployment Insurance Trust Funds written by Andrew Sherrill and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal-state unemployment insurance (UI) program relies on state trust funds to hold enough reserves to meet benefit needs during economic downturns. The sufficiency of such "forward funding" has been a policy concern for decades, particularly during the recent recession, which has caused very high unemploy. rates. While the economy added jobs in Mar. 2010, unemploy. remains very high and has continued to rise in most states, suggesting that state UI programs will continue to face serious financial challenges for at least the near future. This report: (1) describes the current condition of state UI trust funds; (2) highlights policies or practices that have contributed to their conditions; and (3) identifies options for improving UI forward funding in the future.
