The data in Form ETA–218 report includes counts on number of individuals who were and were not monetarily eligible, those eligible for the maximum benefits, the number of newly eligible claimants categorized by potential duration, and the number of persons who exhausted benefits categorized by their actual duration. Authority for collection of this information is under Social Security Act Section 303(a)(6). See 42 U.S.C. 503(a)(6).
