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.
