Abstract: The Employment and Training Administration of the Department 
of Labor is preparing to issue an interim final rule on confidentiality 
and disclosure of information in State records collected, created, or 
maintained for purposes of the Federal-State UC program. The interim 
final rule modifies and expands the regulations implementing the Income 
and Eligibility Verification System (IEVS) to include the statutory 
requirements in title III of the Social Security Act, the Federal 
Unemployment Tax Act, and the Wagner-Peyser Act concerning 
confidentiality and disclosure of information in State UC records. The 
use of unemployment compensation wage records under these and other 
statutes has increased in recent years while privacy and 
confidentiality issues have not yet been addressed.
