Consolidate and standardize the entire
inventory of UI benefit eligibility and
entitlement rules that are currently
embedded in the mainframe code of
numerous CICS applications within a
Service Oriented business rules engine.
The rules engine shall work in
conjunction with the various
applications (including those on the
existing voice web platform) to execute
such system calculations and processes
as: determination of Benefit Rate,
identification of issues needing
adjudication, establishment of employer
charge schedules. This component not
only includes the rules engine but also
the replacement of UBWR. Personal,
eligibility and employer information
specific to each claim is accessible in
UBWR. UBWR is the mainframe
application used by TCC and other Labor
staff to view and update UI claims.
This application can also be used to
enter a UI claim from start to finish
but it is more cumbersome than entering
a claim in the Remote Initial Claim
(RIC) Application.
