Unemployment Insurance Benefit Accuracy Measurement (BAM) Data
This dataset includes the historical series of sample Unemployment Insurance (UI) data collected through the benefit accuracy measurement (BAM) program. BAM is a statistical survey used to identify and support resolutions of deficiencies in the state’s (UI) system as well as to estimate state UI improper payments to be reported to DOL as required by the Improper Payments Information Act (IPIA) and the Elimination and Recovery Act (IPERA). BAM is also used to identify the root causes of improper payments and supports other analyses conducted by DOL to highlight improper payment prevention strategies and measure progress in meeting improper payment reduction targets.
