The Indiana Department of Workforce Development (IDWD) has taken another step toward modernizing its unemployment insurance system by contracting with Carmel, Ind.-based Haverstick Consulting Inc. as the prime vendor for the Unemployment Insurance Modernization (UIM) project.
“The overhaul of our unemployment insurance system is a much-needed and long- anticipated reform,” said Ron Stiver, Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. “I am pleased that an Indiana company such as Haverstick Consulting will help us meet this challenge and ensure Hoosiers receive the benefits of a state-of-the-art unemployment insurance system.”
Indiana’s unemployment insurance system currently runs on an archaic framework of patchwork technology. The modernization project will automate IDWD’s processes for both claimants and employers, and is expected to save taxpayer dollars by reducing overpayments and improving customer service by making the unemployment insurance system more accessible.
Haverstick will lead the team of companies which have developed unemployment insurance solutions in 14 states, including Tier Technologies, Crew Technical Services, Source and Number Six Software. Haverstick was chosen from among five vendors in a highly competitive procurement process.
The new system will enable Indiana employers and the 250,000 individuals who use the system annually, to interact with IDWD at their convenience.
The Indiana Department of Workforce Development is charged with assisting companies to create new jobs and improve employee skills.
