When an employee is separated from employment and files a claim to collect unemployment benefits, any employer listed on the claim are notified via letter and are required to submit job-separation documentation. This documentation allows us to make decisions about allowing or denying unemployment benefits to be paid to the previous employee. Our email notification and response tool allows employers to respond quickly, which gives us information sooner and helps us make more accurate decisions.

Premium Account Audits

We perform regular audits of employer records using generally accepted auditing standards. An audit may examine at least four consecutive quarters during which an employer was in business and liable for reporting covered wages and premiums under the law, however this may be expanded at any time during the audit. Additionally, an audit may be conducted on an employer that has been in business less than four complete calendar quarters.

The objectives are to verify employer reporting, obtain reports and payments, ensure compliance with the Colorado Employment Security Act, analyze the financial status of the employer, secure claimant wage data, explain employer rights, and determine the overpayment of premiums.

We may collect any premiums that are owed as a result of the audit. If a full collection is not possible, the account is referred to Unemployment Insurance Employer Services Premiums for collections.

Overall, field audits enable unemployment insurance to maintain a good relationship with the employer community, foster employers’ understanding of what the law requires and compliance with all of the premium provisions of the law.

Claim Audits

We also conduct audits on claims to prevent or minimize improper benefit payments to claimants. During a claim audit, we request payroll information for a specific period of time from an employer. We evaluate the hours worked plus earnings and compare it to what the claimant has reported. This information may be used to correct a claimant’s eligibility for unemployment benefits based on their true employment status. Any overpayment of benefits must be repaid by the claimant, and liable employers on the account receive a credit to their premium account and rate.

We accept responses to audits online through MyUI Employer via the Request to Employer for Earnings Data located on the UI Links page.

Employer responses are critical to keeping premium rates low. We cross check new hire information against the list of people currently requesting unemployment benefits or who have requested benefits in the past.
