Reimbursements for Unemployment Compensation Payments (APS 003)

USAS – Agency Procedures for Reimbursing TWC

Reimbursing TWC From Agency Appropriations

Agencies and institutions on USAS (non-CAPPS agencies) will use the following procedures to reimburse TWC for 50 percent of total benefits paid to claimants by TWC. This reimbursement is to come from agency appropriations funded from general revenue, GR dedicated accounts, federal funds or other special funds.

Create the Payment to Reimburse TWC

Enter a document type T, batch type 4 as follows:

Agency	T-Code/Title	Appropriation Number	COBJ	Appropriated Fund/Agency Fund/PCA	AY	RTI
Paying Agency	485/RTI – Estab Interagy Accr’d Expend Reimb	Determined by Agency	7984	Determined by Agency	23 24 25	231165 241165 251165

The vendor number and mail code for T-code 485 is 33203203204.000. Note that there are unique RTI numbers for each appropriation year of the reimbursement.

To help TWC reconcile reimbursed amounts:

The TWC ACCT NO. must be entered in the INV NO. field during USAS transaction input.
The format must be agency number followed by a hyphen (-) then the TWC ACCT NO. (example: 255-123456789).
The TWC ACCT NO. can be found on the Fund Source Statement sent by TWC (Appendix B of Form C-58R-2).

Unemployment benefit reimbursements billed for the last quarter of the previous fiscal year but not received until the current fiscal year must be posted into USAS as a previous year’s expense and due to TWC. Agencies can do this by backdating T-code 485 to the previous year.

Reimbursing TWC From the Unemployment Compensation Reimbursement Appropriation

If claimants receiving unemployment compensation received payroll warrants originally paid from the GR dedicated accounts, federal funds or other special funds, an additional 50 percent reimbursement is due from these funding sources for those agencies and institutions.

Agencies should not make additional reimbursements from their primary strategy appropriations, but should instead use Unemployment Reimbursement Appropriation 90822.

The agencies should prepare a budget revision to increase budget in Unemployment Reimbursement Appropriation 90822. Enter a document type A, batch type 1 as follows:

Agency	T-Code/Title	Appropriation Number/Title	COBJ	Appropriated Fund/Agency Fund/PCA
Paying Agency	006/Adjust Expenditure Budget	90822/Unemployment Reimbursement	7000	Determined by Agency
Paying Agency	009/Adjust Revenue Budget	90822/Unemployment Reimbursement	3000	Determined by Agency

To fund the revenue budget (collected), a document type J, batch type 5 transaction must be prepared and entered in USAS. The cash must be transferred to Appropriation 90822 using the following transaction:

Agency	T-Code/Title	Appropriation Number/Title	COBJ	Appropriated Fund/Agency Fund/PCA
Paying Agency	406/Rev Transfer – Out	Determined by Agency	3970	Determined by Agency
Paying Agency	405/Rev Transfer – In	90822/Unemployment Reimbursement	3970	Determined by Agency

If cash operating transfers are the funding source, the cash must be transferred to Appropriation 90822 using the following transactions. Enter a document type J, batch type 5 as follows:

Agency	T-Code/Title	Appropriation Number/Title	COBJ	Appropriated Fund/Agency Fund/PCA
Paying Agency	404/Cash Oper Transfer – Out	Determined by Agency	7968	Determined by Agency
Paying Agency	403/Cash Oper Transfer – In	90822/Unemployment Reimbursement	3968	Determined by Agency

After the budget is established in Appropriation 90822, enter a document type T, batch type 4 as follows:

Agency	T-Code/Title	Appropriation Number/Title	COBJ	Appropriated Fund/Agency Fund/PCA	AY	RTI
Paying Agency	485/RTI – Estab Interagy Accr’d Expend Reimb	90822/Unemployment Reimbursement	7984	Determined by Agency	23 24 25	231165 241165 251165

The vendor number and mail code for T-code 485 is 33203203204.000. RTI numbers are unique to the appropriation year of the reimbursement.

To assist TWC in the reconciliation of reimbursed amounts, the TWC ACCT NO. must be entered in the INV NO. field during USAS transaction input. The format must be agency number followed by a hyphen (-), then the TWC ACCT NO. (for example: 255-123456789). The TWC ACCT NO. can be found on the Fund Source Statement (C-58R-2) sent by TWC.

Unemployment benefit reimbursements billed for the last quarter of the previous fiscal year but not received until the current fiscal year must be posted into USAS as a previous year expense and due to TWC. Agencies can do this by backdating T-code 485 into the previous fiscal year.

Reimbursing TWC From Local Bank Accounts

On receipt of the quarterly statement of benefits paid from TWC, the agency will draw a check from its local bank account payable to the Texas State Comptroller of Public Accounts. The agency will then deposit funds to the state treasury and post a document type D, batch type 2 entry in USAS as follows:

Agency	T-Code/Title	Appropriation Number/Title	COBJ	Appropriated Fund/Agency Fund/PCA
320	180/Record Refund of Expenditure	13004/Unemployment Compensation Payments	7984	0165/Inferred from PCA/51700

Local fund expenditure information and balance sheet transactions for the agency will be posted into USAS as directed in the Reporting Requirements for Annual Financial Reports of State Agencies and Universities.

Note: The vendor number for this entry is the agency vendor number assigned to the paying entity. User Class 61 must be used for this transaction.

Reimbursing TWC From a Revolving Account

Agencies may establish a revolving account from funds held in the state treasury. The Comptroller’s office anticipates that these procedures will be used primarily by agencies that need to set aside gift, grant and special fee account receipts in excess of the amounts provided in the method of finance section. Any agency wishing to establish a revolving account should contact its appropriation control officer for specific requirements.
