ADJUDICATION PROCESS

After an application is filed, the employer(s)
are mailed a form UCB-412 for separation
information.
The information is reviewed and if additional
information is needed , the claimant and/or
employer are contacted accordingly.

The BQ01 screen is used to review the
determination made by the adjudicator.
1-XX-XXXXXX is a payable determination.
2-XX-XXXXXX is a non-payable determination.

Potential issue flags are added on a claim to
signal to different departments that additional
information must be obtained or verified before
any payments or additional payments can be made.

Claimant The claimant may trigger the system to
add potential issue
flags on their claim while
entering information on the
FLUID site or while
entering information using the IVR
system. This action will
occur during the initial or
continued claims process.
Agent An agent can add a potential issue flag
on the claim during the
continued claims process using the
computer transaction BQ41.
Note During the continued claims process, it is
imperative that our agents listen to the claimant
and indicate any potential issues.
Computer The system may place a potential issue
flag on a claim
when it transitions from
one claim to another.

ADJUDICATION ISSUES
These issues are handle by the adjudication
offices. The adjudicator will complete a review
and render a determination whether the claimant
will receive the benefits or not. Once this
determination is entered the potential issue flag
will be removed.
These issues can be divided by categories such
as
