19 CUSTOMER CLASSIFICATION cont’d ERP values entered via JB51 transaction: 1-7 - brought in on week indicated 6 -assigned to all internet claims 8-10 -brought in at the time assigned to default value ( 10 weeks) blank -defaults to 10 weeks 75 -Claimant is scheduled to return to work within 8 weeks.

21 AUTOMATION PROCESS PRIORITY ERP SELECTION UI claimants with prior overpayments Partially unemployed claimants To check for job separations and potential issues for claimants who have ceased reporting earnings Conflict between benefits paid and earnings reported by the employers

22 AUTOMATION PROCESS Cont’d NON - PRIORITY ERP Determined in need of ERP based on current ERP classification codes entered at the time the claim was filed. Could be reclassified later due to changing circumstances.

23 SCHEDULING THE ERP INTERVIEW Gives the number of PRIORITY and NON- PRIORITY ERPs to be scheduled Scheduling must be completed Monday thru Thursday, notices are sent out Friday for the week after next. Secured Transaction BL70 is used to schedule the claimants for an interview

24 BL70 TRANSACTION

25 SCHEDULING THE ERP INTERVIEW (cont’d) Time slots on the BL70 scheduling screen are from Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. All priority ERPs must be scheduled. Additional time slots will automatically be added if needed Can select specific days and times or default to a previously selected time table.

26 SCHEDULING THE ERP INTERVIEW (cont’d) Can schedule by the group or individuals –G groups, by the hour –A individuals, by the half hour Notices advise claimants of the date and time to report, to bring their work search records, to complete the reverse of Form UCB-231A and report with the notice. Partial claims must report. If any have returned to work, they will be ERPed if an initial claim or an additional claim is filed.

27 SCHEDULING THE ERP INTERVIEW (cont’d) Failure to schedule ERP interviews each week or program the default screen through transaction BL70 will result in 100% of all ERPs, both priority and non-priority, being automatically scheduled

28 BL70 TRANSACTION Enter the number of claimants you want scheduled for a given appointment time/day slot Under the M column you may enter either G for groups or A for individuals. If neither G nor A are indicated, the default is automatic Priority group members will be scheduled first and then the selected non-priority members Changes to the distribution of appointments cannot be made after 6:00 p.m. Thursday when the last selected pattern becomes final After the schedule becomes final, the benefit history will be flagged with an 06ERP flag

29 ERP SCHEDULE The ERP Schedule can be accessed by using the Sysout Archival and Retrieval System (SAR) by viewing Report UB2039.

31 BIO8 TRANSACTION The BI08 is a nonsecured transaction used to detect any benefit/earnings conflict The BI08 only reveals crossmatch for PRIORITY ERP claimants Once BI08 identifies a conflict, the interviewer should always review the UC Tax Screens and a Benefit History The ERP crossmatch only indicates that a potential exists for overpayment of benefits.
