The Unemployment Insurance (UI) Division is responsible for administering the state’s UI program under the oversight of the United States Department of Labor (USDOL). This includes the collection of UI contributions/taxes from employers on a quarterly basis, and the distribution of unemployment compensation to New Mexicans who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own and meet various eligibility requirements. The Division executes these functions via robust self-service web services, as well as through staff assisted services via the UI Operations Center.
Background check is required for this position.
NMDWS participates in E-Verify.
Interviews for this position will be conducted within 10 business days of job posting closure.
PURPOSE: The core function of a BAM Quality Control investigator is to detect structural issues within the unemployment system. By comprehensively auditing representative samples of UI claims, investigators identify whether payments were underpaid, overpaid, or correctly issued. They trace the root causes of these errors, whether they stem from claimant fraud, employer misreporting, or agency processing mistakes and track solutions to prevent them from happening again.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Benefit Accuracy Measurement (BAM) Quality Control Investigator is responsible for auditing a statistically valid sample of Unemployment Insurance (UI) claims to ensure payments or denials conform strictly to federal and state laws. Unlike fraud investigators who chase specific tips, a BAM investigator uses a strictly controlled, random computer-selected sample to reconstruct the claim life cycle and identify systemic issues.
The key responsibilities include:
- Comprehensive Case Auditing: Reviewing random samples of both paid and denied UI claims to ensure that every step taken by the agency, employer, and claimant complied with policies.
- Verifying Eligibility Factors: Re-examining all core components of a claim, including the initial separation reason, base-period wages, weekly work searches, and availability for work.
- Employer and Claimant Outreach: Contacting claimants, past employers, and third parties (like financial institutions or career centers) to verify payroll records and work-search contacts.
- Gathering Evidence: Collecting official documentation, such as wage transcripts, tax records, and affidavits, to establish a definitive timeline and factual record of the claim.
- Determining Error Cause and Responsibility: For every investigation that was underpaid, overpaid, or improperly denied, the investigator establishes exactly who caused the error (claimant, agency, or employer) and why it occurred.
- Recalculating Benefit Amounts: Determining the exact dollar amount a claimant should have legally received versus what was actually paid out.
- Federal Database Coding: Logging detailed investigation results into the specialized U.S. Department of Labor automated data system.
- Statistical Maintenance: Adhering strictly to federal methodology manuals (such as ET Handbook No. 395) to preserve the integrity of the data used for state and national error-rate calculations.
- Corrective Action Planning: Compiling trends and data to help NMDWS develop state-wide training or implement system patches to prevent future recurring errors.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Senior UI Engineer
Map your portfolio to specialty occupation criteria
USCIS requires that your role demands at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Frame your UI work around systems design, component architecture, and design systems rather than general web skills to strengthen the specialty occupation case.
Check prevailing wages before negotiating your offer
Your employer's LCA must certify your salary meets the DOL prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up Level III or IV rates for your metro before your offer conversation.
Target employers with E-Verify enrollment for STEM roles
If you're transitioning from F-1 OPT, your next employer must be E-Verify enrolled to authorize your work from day one. Confirm E-Verify status during the offer stage, not after you've signed.
Use Migrate Mate to filter for verified H-1B sponsors
Search Senior UI Engineer roles on Migrate Mate to see employers filtered by DOL Labor Condition Application filing history, so you're not guessing which companies have an actual H-1B track record for this role.
File for premium processing if your start date is tight
Standard H-1B petition adjudication can run several months. If your current status has a hard end date, ask your employer to request premium processing through USCIS, which targets a 15-business-day decision.
Review the O*NET profile before your technical interviews
The O*NET occupation profile for Web and Software Developers lists the core knowledge areas USCIS and DOL use to evaluate specialty occupation. Aligning your resume and interview answers to those domains reduces RFE risk.
H-1B Visa Senior UI Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior UI Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, in most cases. USCIS evaluates whether the position normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Senior UI Engineer roles that involve component architecture, design systems, or front-end engineering at a systems level consistently support that requirement. Roles described only as general web production work face higher scrutiny.
Which SOC code applies to Senior UI Engineer positions for H-1B and LCA filings?
Most Senior UI Engineer roles are filed under SOC 15-1252 (Software Developers) or 15-1257 (Web Developers and Digital Interface Designers), depending on how the employer defines the role's core function. The SOC code determines the prevailing wage level your employer must certify on the LCA, so it directly affects your offer floor.
How do I find Senior UI Engineer employers with a strong H-1B sponsorship track record?
Migrate Mate filters Senior UI Engineer listings by verified DOL Labor Condition Application filing history, so you can see which employers have actually sponsored H-1B workers in this role category rather than relying on job descriptions that mention sponsorship without any filing history behind them.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer mid-year if I find a better Senior UI Engineer role?
Yes. H-1B portability allows you to start working for a new employer as soon as your transfer petition is filed with USCIS, without waiting for approval, provided your current status is valid and you're moving to a same or similar occupational classification. Your new employer must file a new I-129 petition and LCA before your start date.
What happens to my H-1B status if my Senior UI Engineer role is converted to fully remote after I'm sponsored?
A material change in worksite location requires your employer to file an amended H-1B petition and a new LCA certifying the prevailing wage for each new work location. This applies even for permanent remote arrangements. Failing to file an amended petition when the work location changes is a compliance risk for both you and your employer under DOL and USCIS rules.
