4.1.5.1.1 Unemployment Insurance Benefits Data Exchange Process

Under the UIB Unemployment Insurance Benefits data exchange process, UIB DX Data Exchange automatically enters UI Unemployment Insurance information received from state UI databases during intake, review, person add, and program add driver flows. The UIB DX requests UI information for all W-2 Group members over age 14 as long as there is a valid SSN (Verification Code V, C, or W) on the CWW Household Members page. If the DX returns UI income information, CWW automatically updates the Unearned Income Gatepost and the U nearned Income pages.

CWW also completes the UIB DX via a monthly batch process on the 2nd Saturday of the month and will automatically update the UI income for individuals who have had changes in their UI benefits. The monthly process also automatically end-dates UI benefits if no UI extension has been granted. Whenever UI income is updated via the monthly batch process, CWW enters a system-generated case comment.

There are limited situations in which CWW cannot automatically update the UI income information. In these situations, a discrepancy occurs. The FEP Financial and Employment Planner must resolve the discrepancy before running eligibility and confirming W-2. (See 4.1.5.2 )
