  1. Oklahoma Employment Security Commission “Good Cause” Procedures Review Profile Orientation (PO) Job Search Workshop (JSW) Reemployment and Eligibility Assessment (REA) Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) Updated: 07/09/2013 Reemployment Services Division – Support and Compliance

  2. Overview • Processes for PO, JSW, REA and EUC that remain the same: • Scheduling in Glink • Notifying UI of “no shows” • Providing appropriate services when claimant arrives for scheduled group • Entering services and notes in OJL • Changes begin with rescheduling: • Rescheduling is now a formal “on the books” process; must enter rescheduled dates in S&T Plan • Statements will be entered in TabE recording the reason for missing an appointment/rescheduling • UI will be notified via the “Good Cause” email box of all rescheduled dates for PO, JSW, REA and EUC

  3. What happens when a claimant reschedules? • Ask the claimant why they cannot or did not attend the scheduled appointment. Get details and be specific; we must record this reason in TabE. • Enter an enrollment note in OJL stating the reason the claimant did not attend scheduled appointment. • Mark originally scheduled services as either “Failed to Report” or “Rescheduled” in OJL. (see slides 13 thru 18 for examples) • Find the EREA Requirements statement in TabE. Enter the group that was missed, the reason the claimant wishes to reschedule services, and the date of the newly scheduled appointment. Then click Update, No Issue because we are only noting the reason for non-attendance, not stopping the claim. • Update the Claim Record Card (CRC) in TabE. • Email the “Good Cause” email box. 

  4. Using TabE • TabE web address: • http://okclaims.oesc.state.ok.us/okcallcenter/userlogin.aspx • Your username and password are the same as GLink. • Once you log in to TabE, enter the claimant’s SSN in the appropriate field.

  5. Using TabE • Select the correct Effective Date. • Remember: The correct Effective Date can be found in GLink on your list of scheduled claimants.

  6. Using TabE • After choosing the correct Effective Date, select the Fact Finding Requiredbutton to view the Fact Finding Menu.

  7. Using TabE • Click on the plus sign (+) next to EREA on the Fact Finding Menu to reveal the various statements. • Then click the “Requirements” link to reveal the EREA Requirements statement.

  8. Using TabE • Enter the following information in the open text field of the EREA Requirements statement: • 1) The name and date of the group that was missed, 2) the claimant’s reason for rescheduling, and 3) the date of the newly scheduled appointment. Details are important! Include information such as dates, length of time unavailable, in/out of town, etc. Be specific! Remember: use this statement with ALL orientation groups.

  9. Using TabE • Next, place a checkmark in the Add Contacts box and enter the following information: • Party Contacted – enter claimant’s name • Results – enter “obtained information” • Date and Time – enter date and time you enter the statement • Interviewer Name – enter your name • Click the Update, No Issue button. • And then, click the Return To Menu button.

  10. Using TabE • Now you must update the Claim Record Card (CRC). • From the Additional Functions & Inquiry screen, click the CRC Inquiry button to update the CRC also known as the claim record log. Remember: select the correct claim effective date again.

  11. Using TabE • Select “Yes” on the drop-down for the question “Do you want to add a form?”

  12. Using TabE • Select “Other” on the drop-down for the question What type of form? and enter the words “claimant gave reason for non-attendance; (enter either PO, JSW, REA or EUC)” in the Remarks field. • Click the Enter Record button. The entered statement will now appear at the top of the Claim Record Log Inquiry. • Now you are finished with the TabE. Example Remark: claimant gave reason for non-attendance; REA.

  13. “Good Cause” Email Box • After you enter the statement in TabE, you must email UI. • All emails go to goodcause@oesc.state.ok.us. • Must include the following in the Subject Line of the email: • The group the claimant has been rescheduled to attend i.e. PO, Job Search Workshop, REA or EUC • First and Last name • SSN • The body of the email should read: “took statement in TabE; claimant rescheduled for mm/dd/yy” • Send emails daily noting that you must send a separate email for each claimant. If a claimant is NOT registered in OJL, you must also include the statement “not registered in OJL” in the body of the “Good Cause” email.

  29. Good Cause Review: Common Questions Quickguide

  30. Good Cause Review: Common Questions • 1. How do we process original no shows/failed to reports? • PO, JSW and REA • “No shows” are reported via email (PRF/JSW/POE@oesc.state.ok.us) DAILY by 4 p.m. if possible, but ALWAYS on the day the no show occurs. In addition to the email notification, JSW signed letters should be “Network Scanned” or faxed depending on the machine in your office. • If you are sending forms from the Xerox printer/copier: • Select Network Scanning • From the Selected Template dropdown select either Kofax or Streem • Place the Reemployment Activity form face up and press Start • The documents should go straight to the fax server, but you should receive a confirmation report of failure if it does not. Try the fax server later if you get a failure. • If you are in a center without a Xerox printer/copier, you will fax the Reemployment Activity forms (OES 801-E) one at a time to 405-962-7524. • NOTE: If the network scanning method is not working the day of submission you must fax the Reemployment Activity forms. Do not wait to send the next day. • EUC • “No shows” are reported by adding an issue in TabE. • NOTICE: No shows for all groups can now be reported DAILY. It is no longer necessary to wait until Friday to report PO or JSW no shows.

  31. Good Cause Review: Common Questions • 2. Who do we notify when a claimant who formerly “no showed” has completed/attended their required services? • Email a list of call-ins who formerly “no showed” and have now completed/attended to goodcause@oesc.state.ok.usDAILY. Send separate emails for each claimant. This applies to all groups – PO, REA, JSW, and EUC! • Staff must use the following call-in format: • Subject line of email: Call-In Attendance for (Enter Group Name Here) • Body of email:ssn, first and last name, and date completed • NOTE: The S&T Plan in OJL must be updated and all appropriate services marked as completed before emailing any lists. • 3. What do we do if a customer calls and says that they have returned-to-work? • You will mark the services in OJL as “waived” and then record the return-to-work date in enrollment notes. You will take a statement in TabE (Update, No Issue), update the CRC, and email the “Good Cause” email box. The email should say “took statement in TabE; claimant returned to work.” • Refer to slide #24 for appropriate information to include in the TabE statement.

  32. Good Cause Review: Common Questions • 4. If a client wants to reschedule from one office to the next, and it’s approved, who updates services, enters the statement in TabE, and does the Good Cause email?  • The sending office will: • Mark original services in OJL accordingly, either failed to report or rescheduled • Email Pam Hoskins to change the client to the new office • UPDATE services BEFOREcontacting Pam Hoskins to change the client to the new office! • The receiving office will: • Enter statement in TabE, update the CRC and email the good cause email box with all appropriate information. The reason for rescheduling is that the claimant “lives closer to XX office and requested to change locations.” • Enter and update new services upon completion • Send the appropriate email upon completion of services (according to the procedures in the Q&A) if the client was originally a FTR. • 5. What do we do if a customer comes into the office without an ID? • If a customer comes in to the center without an ID, staff must still provide the customer with PO, REA or EUC services. There is no ID requirement in order to complete LE or UI services such as these. The requirement to have an ID is for enrollment in WIA Adult services. While desirable, dual enrollment does not have to be done when the customer reports for a scheduled group such as PO, REA or EUC. Staff should complete the scheduled group activities and then direct the customer to bring their ID with them next time they visit the center. The • customer can be enrolled in WIA Adult at that time.
