Short Statement:
The current burden for the SQSP submittal for 53 SWAs is 773 total annual responses and 3,304 total annual burden hours. This reflects an increase in burden of 26 annual responses and 78 burden hours from the previously approved 747 total annual responses and 3,226 total annual burden hours. This change is due to the submittal requirement of the UI Program Integrity Action Plan (IAP). The IAP must discuss the root causes of improper payments and present the state’s strategies to address these causes. Since the major root causes of improper payments can change each year, the IAP must be submitted annually, instead of biennially as stated in the previous collection. Therefore, all 53 SWAs must submit the IAP annually.
