As part of our sur- vey, we examined the actual reporting of wages for five selected unemployed rederal civilian employees by the Boston Regional Office of the United States Civil Service Commission (CSC) to the Massachusetts Division of Employment Security (MDES). Our work was performed at the regional offices of CSC and MA and the headquarters office of MDES in Boston, Massachusetts. Our survey resulted in three findings: (1) there appears to be a need to revise the MA's manuals provided to State employment security and to Federal agencies governing the reporting of wages paid to Federal civilian employees to specifically require that wage reports be prepared on a basis consistent with applicable State laws governing unemployment compensation, (2) the Form ES-931 needs to be revised to show the specific basis upon which wage ropoLts have been prepared by Federal agencies, and (3) greater care needs to be given to the preparataon of wage reports by the CSC regional office in Boston. At the conclusson of our survey, appropriate coriective actaon appeared to have been initiated on the latter finding. The :Implementation of the program of unemployment insurance protection for unemployed Federal civilian employees is the responsibility of the Sectetary oE Labor, Under agreements entered into between the Secretary and the State employment security agencies, this program is administered by the State agencies as agents of the United States Government. The Congress makes annual appropriations to the Department of Labor from which payments are made by the Department to the State employment sccurity agenc-es for the amount of unemployment benefits disbursed to un- employed Federal civilan employees.- During fiscal year 1969, the Department pa.,d the State agencies about $47 million for the benefit payments made by the State agencies. For unemployment compensation purposes, reports on Federal civilian employees' service and wages are provided by the Federal employing agency to the State employment secucity agency so that the State agency may ascerLain each employee's eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits
