SEMERAD Assistant Secr SUBJECT: Issuance of Rgvisged Standard Form 8 (SF-8), Notice to Fedéral Employee About Unemployment Insurance This memorandum is a followup to my October 6, 1986, memorandum concerning procedures under the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE) Program. One item in that memorandum concerned the need to add a contact person to the SF-8, Notice to Federal Employee About Unemployment Insurance. Attached is a revision of the SF-8 which provides entries for Federal agencies to record their parent Federal agency name, payroll/personnel address, 3-digit Federal Identification Code (FIC), contact person/office and telephone number for State agency use in processing unemployment claims. To implement use of the revised SF-8, your’ agency must order supplies from the Federal Supply Service of the General Services Administration (GSA) using the standard FEDSTRIP or MILSTRIP procedures. Your agency's administrative office has the specific information on these procedures. The requisition form submitted to your administrative office should indicate Standard Form 8 (Rev. 6-87), stock number 7540-00-634-3964, quantity, and delivery points desired. If your agency wishes Overprinting on the SF-8 with completed entries of your . agency's parent Federal agency name, payroll/personnel address, 3-digit FIC, contact person/office and telephone number, a request must be submitted through the Federal Supply Service of GSA, to the Government Printing Office (GPO), for prior approval.

In addition, the information on the SF-8 will now allow State agencies to contact Federal agencies directly by telephone to inquire about or verify information entered on the UCFE claims forms. We believe that by Providing an SF-8 to all separating employees and emphasizing that this form should be presented when filing a claim for unemployment benefits, the operation of the UCFE program will greatly improve in efficiency, quality, and response time. Please ensure that all Staff members, personnel offices, and Payroll offices having any part of the responsibility for your agency's UCFE program, are made aware of the revised SF-8 and its purpose. It is, however, the responsibility of the Personnel office to order and maintain a supply of SF-8s for Separating employees. The revised SF-8 is self-explanatory; however, if you have any questions concerning this memorandum, please contact either Millie Enten or Louise TenEyck on 535-0312.
