the Unemployment Insurance Weekly

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The ETA 538 and ETA 539 reports are 

weekly reports which contain 

information on initial claims and 

continued weeks claimed. These figures 

are important economic indicators. The 

ETA 538 provides information that 

allows unemployment claims 

information to be released to the public 

five days after the close of the reference 

period. The ETA 539 contains more 

detailed weekly claims information and 

the state’s 13-week insured 

unemployment rate which is used to 

determine eligibility for the Extended 

Benefits program. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department is particularly 

interested in comments which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.
