  Wage Record Interchange System  
  Subscribe to this Page  
     
  The Wage Record Interchange System (WRIS) is a clearinghouse for state wage
data that allows states to track the wage records of individuals who have
participated in state workforce investment programs, then subsequently left the state, for performance reporting purposes. By participating in WRIS, states have a more robust picture of the effectiveness of their workforce investment programs, and are able to report more comprehensive outcomes against their performance measures.

The technical operation to exchange wage data for WRIS purposes is based on the Interstate Connection Network (ICON) - used for the interstate benefits process - which is currently operated by Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) through a cooperative agreement with the State of Maryland.

Note: On March 23, 2009, a Training and Employment Notice, TEN 36-08, was issued to inform state workforce agencies (SWAs) about plans and the timetable for upgrading the UI-ICON to take advantage of new technologies and better support more diverse state information technology (IT) architectures.
