ICESA (Interstate Conference of Employment Security Agencies)

QuickFile submits data to TWC in the ICESA (Interstate Conference of Employment Security Agencies) format. However QuickFile can obtain this information from employer data that is in the ICESA, MMREF-1 or Other Text formats. ICESA format indicates the input data is in the format specified for wage reporting by the Interstate Conference of Employment Security Agencies. You may download the specifications for the ICESA format as a Word97 document or as a PDF file. This format consists of a 275-byte long record with 6 different types of information. Refer to the web site for details. • A Record: Submitter Information. FEID required. • B Record: Placeholder only-required but info not used. • E Record: Employer information (One E record for each employer-quarter). • S Record: Employee Salary information (one record for each employee of the above employer for the quarter). • T Record: Employer Total information (ends the E-record group). • F Record: Final record at the end.
