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:

All data needed to calculate and analyze performance for continuous improvement resides in Connecting Colorado. Wage records are uploaded quarterly to Connecting Colorado from the Unemployment Insurance data system, and currently Connecting Colorado maintains a file of wage data extending back to January 1996. This file is used in a variety of on-demand Connecting Colorado reports that track wage-based performance for Wagner-Peyser, WIOA Title I-B, TAA, and Veterans Employment and Training Services. Workforce areas and their partners with data sharing agreements have direct access to these reports (or can be provided these reports by the local workforce areas), which contain aggregated wage record information. Unemployment Insurance has formal data release agreements with the local workforce areas for their direct access to individual wage records available through the Colorado Unemployment Benefits System (CUBS).
