Generating a Wage and Separation Report

Periodically, Federal agencies are required to generate a Form ES-931 report (Request for Wage and Separation Information). State agencies use the information in this report to determine benefit eligibility for each claimant filing claims for Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE).

The generation of the ES-931 report is a two-part process.

  1. Use the Setup Wage/Separation USF component to enter setup information.

  2. Use the Print Wage/Separation USF component to generate the actual report.

These topics discuss how to:

  • Enter ES-931 employee identification information.

  • Enter ES-931 annual leave information.

  • Enter ES-931 severance pay information.

  • Generate the ES-931 report.
