The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is extending the authority to conduct the Unemployment Insurance Data Validation Program. They are seeking public comments on this information collection to reduce paperwork and improve data accuracy as per the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. States must validate unemployment insurance data to ensure correct and verified reporting and may need to conduct the validation process every three years or sooner under certain conditions. Comments from the public are encouraged to assess the necessity, accuracy, and impact of this data collection.
Simple Explanation
The Labor Department wants to make sure the numbers and information about people getting unemployment money are correct. They asked people to tell them if there are better ways to check these numbers so it doesn't take up too much paper or time.
