12 reactivation date
Reactivation Date (IMT-REACT-DATE)
The reactivation date is an 8-byte field found in positions 560 - 567. Like the other three date fields, it is sub-divided into contiguous sub-fields of 4-digit year, 2-digit month, and 2-digit day of the month. Reactivations come into play when an account has been terminated for a period of time, but is returned to an active status. This field should specify the date on which the account had reacquired its active status (i.e., had become liable for U-I taxation).
It is often difficult to determine when an account is newly activated or reactivated in some State systems. If only a single effective date (used as either a liability or reactivation date) is present in the State source data, it may not be possible to know whether this is a first-time activation, or the end of a temporary closure. State extract programs can often perform a record match with the Micro File to decide what kind of date is present. If this is impractical, however, the date should be set wherever it seems to be most appropriate. The EXPO interface program, ES2MI01, will check for inconsistencies, and will move the date field from liability to reactivation if it is actually for a pre-existent account. Similarly, for new accounts that are identified as reactivations, the reactivation date field will be moved to the initial liability date to avoid later conflicts in the micro edits. If there is no known reactivation date, or if it is unchanged, this field should be set to low-values.
