Unemployment Insurance Tax Claim or Charge Information documents are used to report and manage UI tax claims and charges between employers, payroll processors, and state unemployment insurance agencies. The BTI (Beginning Tax Information) segment establishes the tax claim context, while the N1 Loop (Name) identifies the organizations and entities involved—typically the employer, the UI agency, and other responsible parties. The structure accommodates multiple claimants through the NM1 Loop (Individual or Organizational Name), with each claimant’s monetary amounts, percentages, and chargeback details captured through AMT, PCT, and CHB segments respectively. REF (Reference Identification) and DTM (Date/Time Reference) segments connect claims to specific tax periods, identifiers, and effective dates. This transaction set enables the exchange of charge assessments, liability apportionments, and UI tax adjustments in a standardized format.

Consider a scenario where Sterling Manufacturing reports UI tax charges to the State Revenue Department following a reduction in workforce. The document uses the N1 Loop to identify Sterling Manufacturing as the employer and the State Revenue Department as the recipient, with AMT segments specifying the total charge amount and applicable tax period dates in DTM segments. Within the NM1 Loop, individual affected employees are listed with their associated charge allocations in AMT segments, and the PAM Loop optionally breaks down these charges by pay period. If Sterling disputes portions of the charge—perhaps claiming a contribution should be allocated to a related subsidiary—CHB (Chargeback Information) segments document those objections. REF segments tie each charge to the original separation notices or claim reference numbers, creating an auditable record of the UI tax assessment and any disputes.
