12 pla street address line 1
PLA Street Address Line 1 (IMT-PL-ADDRESS)
This is the first of two street address lines for the physical location address. It is a 35-byte alphanumeric field, located at positions 103 - 137. It is used to specify the actual physical location of a place of business. Some accounts may have two or even three addresses, a U-I mailing address, a separate mailing address for Multiple Worksite Report (MWR) or Annual Refiling Survey (ARS) forms, and a physical address. In such instances, use this field for the physical address. This address must be located within the State, with the possible exception of accounts with county codes 996 (foreign) and 998 (out-of-state).
CAUTION: One of the most common mistakes in IMT File development is to include a mailing address, particularly an out-of-state or a post office box location, into the physical street address. This address block is intended to deal solely with the actual physical location of an establishment. Therefore, please be sure that P.O. box numbers and out-of-state locations do not appear in this field. Such an entry will be flagged as an edit exception during micro and integrated edit processes. This is also referred to, in the QUEST and in the SUE system, as the primary Street address; don't be confused by this and the "Supplemental" address, which goes on IMT-PL-ADDRESS2.
Many States use a two-line street address in their source files. If so, the second street address line should be supplied to the IMT-PL-ADDRESS2 field, described next. The Enhanced Quarterly U-I (EQUI) deliverable file will receive both street address lines.
If only one street address line is available, representing the physical location of the business, it should be placed here. If this address is brought in from the U-I tax file, however, it should be placed in the U-I address block (though it may be copied here as well). With the exception of U-I tax address data, the decisions of how to store the address information are left to the discretion of the State.
For a new account, this address should be specified if it is known. If it is not known, or if there is no physical address, or if the IMT record represents a change that has no bearing on physical address information, this field should be left as low-values.
