About this file

This document is a summary of the UI PERFORMS Core Measures, which are the acceptable levels of performance for various Unemployment Insurance (UI) program activities as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). The core measures cover benefits, program integrity, appeals, tax, and reemployment activities. They include specific performance targets for metrics such as first payment promptness, nonmonetary determination timeliness and quality, overpayment detection and recovery, appeals timeliness and quality, and reemployment rates. The document also references the Secretary's Standards for UI program performance as defined in federal regulations.

Additionally, this document references a related federal contract opportunity hosted by the DOL's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) Office of Unemployment Insurance (OUI). The OUI is hosting a series of virtual Vendor Industry Day sessions throughout fiscal year 2024 to enable market research on solutions and services that can support state UI agencies in optimizing their service delivery, particularly in the areas of fraud prevention/detection, equitable access, and timely benefit payments. The DOL is interested in learning about vendors' capabilities to provide integrity services and data sharing capabilities that can help states meet the UI PERFORMS Core Measures.
