123-1          DOL Department of Labor DATA INQUIRY SCREENS

Certain Department of Labor data inquiry screens are available to Division of Public Assistance staff.   These screens are used to obtain information about wage history, potential unemployment insurance eligibility, and unemployment insurance benefit payments for public assistance applicants and recipients.

123-1 A  CONFIDENTIALITY

Information needed for the administration of public assistance or for the Unemployment Insurance benefit program may be exchanged between DPA Division of Public Assistance and DOL Department of Labor offices without a specific authorization from the client to release the information.  The same confidentiality rules which apply to public assistance case information apply to information obtained from the Labor Data System Screens and directly from DOL Department of Labor offices.

123-1 b  SECURITY ACCESS TO DOL DATA SYSTEM

DPA Division of Public Assistance staff must complete a DOL Department of Labor LAN/Mainframe Work Order (07-2015) and a DOL Department of Labor Confidentiality Acknowledgement (07-2016) to get access to the Department of Labor data inquiry screens.

1. Staff must contact their supervisors to obtain the DOL Department of Labor forms for completion.  These forms can be located on the Systems Operations website.

2. The supervisor or other designated person in the district office must approve and forward the completed forms to System Operations.

3. Systems Operations will then forward the request for DOL Department of Labor Data System access to the Department of Labor.  Once approved, DOL Department of Labor will assign the "Labor Production CICS" option to the individual's customized Personal Menu.

Refer to the DPA Division of Public Assistance Interface User Guide at the Manuals link on the DPA Division of Public Assistance website for information on accessing and navigating the DOL Department of Labor Data System.
