With the first Republican having now filed to challenge Gov. Laura Kelly in 2022, Kansans are about to hear a raft of claims and counter-claims about the Kansas Department of Labor’s woeful handling of unemployment claims during the pandemic. Most will lay the blame squarely on the governor. Like many of the unemployment filings themselves, quite a few of these claims will be fraudulent. The barrage could start any day now, so before it does, here is what we know.
First, the computers themselves were decrepit due to decades of deferred maintenance. As the pandemic hit, KDOL computers dated from the 1970s. My colleague Patrick Miller wrote about the developing problems back in April 2020. Then the deluge worsened. Entire mainframes processing tens of thousands of claims had far less processing capacity than one modern-day phone, watch or thermostat. They could not be serviced or repaired, since the production of replacement parts ended decades ago.
