Readers are strongly cautioned that it may be misleading to compare one state's payment accuracy rates with another state's rates. No two states'written laws, regulations, and policies specifying eligibility conditions are identical, and differences in these conditions influence the potential for error.States have developed many different ways to determine monetary entitlement to UI. Additionally, nonmonetary requirements are, in large part, based ohow a state interprets its law. Two states may have identical laws, but may interpret them quite differently. States with stringent or complex provisionstend to have higher improper payment rates than those with simpler, more straightforward provisions.

* Over 80 percent of the overpayments included in Kansass Annual Report rate and over 98 percent of the overpayments for which the agency was responsiblewere due to violations of the states law requiring registration for work with the public workforce centers. In response, the state implemented new WorkforceDevelopment Center / Job Service registration regulations, effective November 2006, aimed at reducing these payment errors.
