Enhanced Services and Documented Cost Savings

Provide Significant Advantages

 

The states across the U.S. that have implemented GUS have seen how beneficial it is to modernize their workforce and unemployment systems. Services for claimants have improved drastically, allowing them to file new and continued claims for unemployment benefits, file appeals of determinations, and search for job opportunities – all in a single, online location that encourages reemployment activities to get them employed faster.

 

In addition to making services more efficient for claimants, our advanced technology has helped identify improper benefits payments to claimants not actively searching for work, or who have been employed within the claim period. The states that have integrated the GUS solution have documented a decrease in the number of weeks claimants are unemployed, millions of dollars in trust fund savings, and lower tax rates for employers.
