!!!INTERSTATE CONFERENCE OF EMPLOYMENT SECURITY AGENCIES (ICESA)

ICESA (Interstate Conference of Employment Security Agencies) is a format used by QuickFile to submit data.

ICESA format indicates the input data is in the format specified for wage reporting by the Interstate Conference of Employment Security Agencies. 

This format consists of a 275-byte long record with 6 different types of information. 
*A Record: Submitter Information. FEID required.
*B Record: Placeholder only-required but info not used.

*S Record: Employee Salary information (one record for each employee of the above employer for the quarter).
