Requests are periodically consolidated by the WRIS Clearinghouse into Queries to be sent to SUIA(s) identified as holding pertinent Wage Data. Consolidation consists of creating Queries containing SSNs from different PACIAs that are for Wage Data held by the same SUIA. H. The WRIS Clearinghouse transmits Queries to the appropriate SUIAs for processing. A copy of each Query sent to a SUIA is maintained at the WRIS Clearinghouse until a Reply has been received by the WRIS Clearinghouse. I. SUIA(s) process Queries and create Replies containing Wage Data, which are sent to the WRIS Clearinghouse. J.

The WRIS Clearinghouse compares unfilled Requests with Wage Data received from the SUIAs Replies and if matches are found, Wage Data are sent to the Requesting XXXXX in the form of a Result. L.

If the data have not been downloaded within 14 days of being made available, it will automatically be removed from the WRIS Clearinghouse. N. The WRIS Clearinghouse provides ETA with periodic reports detailing the volume of WRIS activity during the reporting period for ETA’s use in preparing reports.
