What does UIA 1555A request from an employer?

1. Employee performance review

2. Wage and separation information

3. Tax information

4. Compensation report

The correct answer is: Wage and separation information

UIA 1555A is a form used by the Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) to gather specific information from employers regarding an employee's wages and reasons for separation from employment. The request for wage information is necessary to determine an individual's eligibility for unemployment benefits, as it helps establish their earnings during the relevant period. Additionally, the details on separation—whether they were laid off, quit, or terminated—are crucial for assessing the circumstances under which an employee left their job. This information plays a vital role in the claims process, ensuring that benefits are distributed appropriately based on the provided data. The other options, while related to employment, do not align with the primary purpose of the UIA 1555A form. For instance, an employee performance review focuses on an individual's job performance and is not pertinent to unemployment claims. Tax information, while important for different regulatory and reporting purposes, is not specifically requested through this form. Similarly, a compensation report could be relevant for broader payroll assessments or financial analyses but is not the focus of UIA 1555A in the context of unemployment claims processing.
