The unemployment computer system collapsed when it was hit with a wave of applications during the coronavirus pandemic. And no wonder, the system is 40 years old.
The new system is set to go online June 8. The promise is that the system is faster service, with claims processed in real-time.
“We are very eager to get onto this new system because it will help process unemployment claims more quickly,” said Department of Labor & Industry Acting Secretary Jennifer Berrier.
It is a far cry from the current system that has a backlog of nearly 3000,000 claims.
