B. Purpose

Form ETA 2112 is a monthly summary of transactions in a state unemployment fund which includes the Clearing Account, Unemployment Trust Fund Account, and Benefit Payment Account. All payments by employers (and employees where applicable) into a state unemployment fund for contributions, payments in lieu of contributions, penalty and interest, or special assessments should be accounted for in the report. Funds received from the Federal Employees Compensation Account (FECA) and the Extended Unemployment Compensation Account (EUCA) as advances or reimbursements for Federal benefit obligations paid through the benefit payment account, should be identified and reported in appropriate line items. All funds deposited into, transferred, or paid from the state unemployment fund (the state clearing account, the Unemployment Trust Fund, and the state benefit payment account) should be reflected on the ETA 2112. Form ETA 2112 provides a summary of data pertaining to state UI tax collections, regular benefits paid, federal and state shares of extended benefits paid, federal temporary program benefits paid, and other transactions affecting the unemployment trust fund. In addition, it reflects specific areas where adjustments are indicated to determine the adequacy of resources available for regular unemployment benefit payments. Data from this form are also used with data from other statistical reports to study trends in financial aspects of the UI program and as a basis for solvency studies.

C. Due Date and Transmittal

This report is due the 1st day of the second month following the month of reference and will be transmitted electronically.

D. General Reporting Instructions

The data used in preparing the ETA 2112 must be obtained from the books of the state. A properly completed ETA 2112 will accurately show the net result of all transactions in the three accounts comprising the state unemployment fund as they appear in each state’s records.
