BAM Annual Report Overpayments by Cause -- July 2008 thru June 2011
*** Please Note: UI improper payment data displayed on these web pages are derived from the Benefit Accuracy Measurement (BAM) program. BAM is a quality
control statistical survey used to identify errors and support corrective action in the state unemployment insurance (UI) system.
Approximately 24,000 cases are drawn from states annually, with sample sizes ranging from 360 cases per year in the 10 states with the smallest UI workloads to
480 cases in the remainder of the states.
Readers are strongly cautioned that it may be misleading to compare one state's payment accuracy rates with another state's rates. No two states' written laws,
regulations, and policies specifying eligibility conditions are identical, and differences in these conditions influence the potential for error. States have
developed many different ways to determine monetary entitlement to UI. Additionally, nonmonetary requirements are, in large part, based on how a state
interprets its law. Two states may have identical laws, but may interpret them quite differently. States with stringent or complex provisions tend to have higher
improper payment rates than those with simpler, more straightforward provisions.
(To compare state laws visit http://www.oui.doleta.gov/unemploy/statelaws.asp#Statelaw or contact the state directly.)
