Action(s) Taken or Planned on the Finding Our action plan includes documentation, management approval, and will remedy the problem going forward. Advances are to be recorded in a liability account that doesn’t roll up into the AP module. This will eliminate paying advances in error. The payment is only moved into the AP module, for processing, after we determine we have excess cash and have the appropriate supporting documentation and approval. Surplus cash can only be calculated semi-annually and at year-end. If the calculation reflects excess cash, we must make payment within 90 days.

The Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DLWD) continues to monitor all first payment and non-monetary time lapse figures in order to meet the established USDOL Acceptable Levels of Performance (ALP). As workloads return to normal levels after the increased activity from the COVID-19 pandemic related claims, greater emphasis will continue to be placed on meeting all ALPs. Specifically relating to first payments and the previously discussed issues with claimants verifying their identity before any payments can be made, the DLWD has made some internal changes to how returned verified IDs from our ID verification partner (ID.me) are handled. These modifications to the internal process used to clear verified IDs are expected to have a positive impact on overall time lapse numbers as verified claimants will not be delayed longer than they previously were under the old process. The month of April starts the new reporting year for these figures to USDOL and New Jersey expects to see significant increases to first payment and non-monetary time lapse figures by the third quarter of calendar year 2024.

The Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DLWD) has controls in place to only allow an FPUC payment to be made when an underlying Unemployment Insurance (UI) payment has also been processed. FPUC payments should not be issued to any claim without the underlying UI payment being made for the same week. The FPUC payments issued and noted as exceptions during eligibility testing will be reviewed independently by DLWD to determine if the payments issued were to eligible recipients or not. For the PUA exceptions noted during Eligibility testing, overall the DLWD issued PUA payments to over 680,000 claimants during the COVID-19 pandemic. DLWD had controls in place to require a COVID related reason to make the claim PUA eligible and the weekly PUA certification required claimants to choose a COVID related reason for why they were out of work before they could get paid. The PUA payments in question will be reviewed independently by the DLWD to determine if the payments issued under PUA were appropriate or if they should have been paid instead under the regular UI program. DLWD corrective actions related to FPUC and PUA payments were fully implemented as of September 2023.
