Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly (D) announced June 2 that the Kansas Department of Labor (KDL) has started what it describes as its effort to modernize the state’s unemployment insurance system. Kelly said the project will take 26 months and cost roughly $48 million.
The KDL previously announced April 5 that the state chose to contract with Tata Consultancy Services to update the current IT system for processing unemployment insurance claims, but the budget and timeline for the project were not known at the time of the announcement.
Kelly said the state will regularly update the KDL website with progress reports related to the project. For more information, click here.
