Recommendation text

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.
