III. b. 6. C. Use of Unemployment Insurance (ui) Wage Record Data

Explain how the State will meet the requirements to utilize quarterly UI wage records for performance accountability, evaluations, and as a source for workforce and labor market information, consistent with Federal and State law. (This Operational Planning element applies to core programs.)

Current Narrative:

The use of UI wage record data will continue. Data Sharing Agreements are being reviewed and expanded to accommodate performance related goals.

The Louisiana Workforce Commission (LWC) is currently importing out-of-state wages from the Wage Record Interchange System (WRIS) into its participant wage records. There are a significant number of participants who previously had and/or seek out of state employment before and after participation in workforce programs. LWC will continue to use WRIS wages to produce a more complete and accurate record of participant earnings.

LWC is also a participant in WRIS2, which permits the use of aggregated data for appropriate Third Party Entities (TPEs). Louisiana may utilize WRIS2 data, as permitted, as its relationships evolve with the administrators of WIOA partner programs. Specific plans for the sharing of WRIS2 data with TPEs has not been finalized.
