Cash Management

**Timeliness of Deposit to the Clearing Account: Elapsed time from the State’s receipt of employer contributions to their deposit in the clearing account, estimated from a random sample of contributions received by the state during a specified time interval.

*The criterion for the measure of the ratio of the average daily loanable balance in the Clearing Account to the average daily transfer to the UTF has been deferred for FY 2004 SQSP pending the outcome of UI Reform legislation.

**The measures was deferred pending development of a methodology that would provide uniform results for states that use a lock-box operation as opposed to an in-state cashiering operation.
