Claimant Analysis Scope = Unique Claimants Who Meet the Following Criteria:

Filed a continued claim for compensable weeks ending in 2014 (regardless of payment status)

Filed an initial claim in 2014 (regardless of claim status)

Transaction types of 'RG' (regular) and 'RV' (released vouchers) included.

Grand totals on each page excludes claimants from other states.

All claims types are included in the calculations in this report.

Claims data extracted from the Workforce Warehouse database, designed primarily as a researchdatabase, may not match exactly other counts produced by or for the Employment & Training Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor.

*Data is non-disclosable in this cell due to primary suppression. If a value is less than 10 claimants, but greater than zero, the data is suppressed.

**Data is non-disclosable in this cell due to secondary suppression. In this case, if the value of a non-disclosable data cell can be determined by adding disclosed data and subtracting from the total, the 2nd smallest value is also suppressed.

Methodology Notes

Additional Notes on "Weeks Paid and Average Weekly Payment" page: Other analyses include all claimants, regardless of payment status, so these counts may be smaller.Differences between entitlement amounts and proceeds amounts reflect amounts deducted fortaxes, child support payments and/or employment payment amounts for vacation, holidays, etc.Entitlement amounts are based on employees' wages during the benefit determination period.Proceeds amounts are the actual dollar amounts of the checks that go out to claimants.

Suppression:

The City of Residence, County of Residence, and County of Employer pages only show the top 25 values. The remainder of the values are placed into an "Other" grouping.
