Abstract:
The UCFE law (5 U.S.C. 8501, et seq.) requires state workforce agencies to administer the UCFE program in accordance with the same terms and provisions of the paying state's unemployment insurance law, which apply to unemployed claimants who worked in the private sector. Each state agency must be able to obtain certain information (wage, separation data) about each claimant filing claims for UCFE benefits to enable them to determine his/her eligibility for benefits. The Department of Labor (DOL) has prescribed forms to enable the state agencies to obtain this necessary information from the individual's Federal employing agency. Each of these forms is essential to the UCFE claims process and the frequency of use varies depending upon the circumstances involved. These are model forms which states may customize as needed to collect the necessary information required to operate the UCFE program.
