In the mid-1990's, the U.S. Department of Labor, in conjunction with the states, implemented a Revenue Quality Control program, which is now known as Tax Performance System (TPS) control. TPS looks at a dozen aspects of the unemployment insurance tax operation and uses a statistically valid sample to determine whether the decisions made in the unemployment insurance tax program are made in accordance with law, policy and procedure.

The Tax Performance System program is administered by our Performance and Compliance Unit.
