FY 2006 GPRA Goals: The Department included four performance goals for the UI program as part of its GPRA plan for FY 2006. These performance goals have been in place since 2003. The goals reflect national aggregate performance and are designed to measure system-wide service to workers and employers. Data are available for three of the goals; data collection for the fourth goal, “Facilitate Reemployment,” began during FY 2006.
