Readers are strongly cautioned that it may be misleading to compare one state's payment accuracy
rates with another state's rates. No two states' written laws, regulations, and policies specifying
eligibility conditions are identical, and differences in these conditions influence the potential for
error. States have developed many different ways to determine monetary entitlement to UI.
Additionally, nonmonetary requirements are, in large part, based on how a state interprets its law.
Two states may have identical laws, but may interpret them quite differently. States with stringent or
complex provisions tend to have higher improper payment rates than those with simpler, more
straightforward provisions. (To compare state laws visit
