As of April 20, 2020, we are working on some temporary programming changes for UIB payments. We recently found out that OESC is withholding from the Federal CARES Act supplemental $600 payments plus their normal UIB payments. This is going to cause us to over collect on the monthly payment plan amounts on most of these cases.
We’re working on developing some programming that will stop the excess collections prior to distribution and kick the payments back to UNDL. These UIB payments (Distribution Code: J and Payment Type: SG) will allocate according to the current process.
At the FGN level, once the payment plan(s) have been met, the excess will:
- Go to UNDL at the NCP level
- Undistributed Type: OT
- Resolution Indicator: P for CFB processing
- CFN note will be: UIB collection – payment plan met
Important note: If there is no payment plan (PPSL) on any obligations for the FGN, the receipt will allocate and apply to total debt for the FGN.
All cases should have payment plans built on all obligations with balances to ensure proper collection and disbursements. Additional information/training will be provided in the next few days regarding setting up these payment plans.
Once the payments are in UNDL – CFB will work to get these refunded to the NCPs as quickly as possible. I want to also mention that there will be UIB payments in UNDL for other reasons due to the normal distribution edits such as Payee data incomplete or at risk excess URA These will continue to go to the district office worklists. Once we no longer have a need to prevent these supplemental payments from overpaying our cases, the programming will be turned off and go back to the normal process.
If you have any questions, let us know.
