Unemployment

Unemployment insurance (UI) is a shared federal-state system that provides partial wage replacement and reemployment services to workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own and who are able to work, available to work, and actively seeking work.

Unemployment insurance task force final report

The National Academy of Social Insurance Unemployment Insurance Task Force, comprised of 24 leading UI experts from across the political spectrum, began its work in late 2020 in the midst of the chaos that the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked on our nation’s Unemployment Insurance system to find solutions to build a more stable system that would not be susceptible to the myriad failures experienced during the pandemic. The purpose of this Task Force was to review and analyze issues that the UI system has faced both historically and during the pandemic, as well as potential policy solutions, how those solutions might work, and might be perceived.
