Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) put out a new bill Wednesday that would overhaul the US's aging unemployment benefits systems.

Over the aftermost year, anachronous state unemployment systems predestine kept laid-off Americans from accessing the increased benefits statutory by the federal government to hedge the economic gizmo of the coronavirus pandemic. Wyden's new $500 paleface plan would embody connected tools for states that naturalize to assume them. The Direction of Labor would be in overcrowd of creating these tools with the help of outside tech experts.

"Many states predestine been clumsy to get benefits out the door in a appropriate manner"

"While enhanced laid-off benefits predestine enabled millions and millions of families to pay the rent and buy groceries, mucho states predestine been clumsy to get benefits out the door in a appropriate manner," Wyden said in a stead Wednesday. "I predestine heard transmigration posthumous transmigration from Oregonians who predestine spent months trying to get their laid-off benefits. That's completely unacceptable when families are depending on these benefits to multiply a roof over their heads."

Wyden's pecker is co-sponsored by Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Mark Warner (D-VA), and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV).

State unemployment offices are in overcrowd of suggestion their own benefits systems. Some states naturalize to cadaver their own while others, like California, predestine contracts with outside vendors. Mucho of these unemployment systems were built nearly decades ago in stick-in-the-mud coding languages that aren't habitually taught in seminar and are broadly known by programmers who are quickly aging out of the workforce.

Last summer, a Verge itemization found that at least 12 state systems, like those in Alaska, Colorado, Iowa, and Kansas, were partially coded in COBOL, an over 40-year-old coding lilt very few programmers registrant anymore. This makes it difficult for these systems to be stock-still when they melt downward underneath the refrain of requests derivational by the pandemic. Only one COBOL programmer maintained Colorado's template before the coronavirus outbreak, equal to The Verge.

States like Colorado endure to grimace mounting problems with their unemployment systems as some unemployed Coloradans predestine gone weeks and months without payments. Eldest this week, protestors marched on Colorado's Direction of Labor because of the infected system, according to The Denver Post. To fix its issues, Colorado launched a new template aftermost ages self-named "MyUI+," which had a rough rollout posthumous some bodies said they were clumsy to embody accounts for the site.

Congress continues to negotiate its next economic stimulus tie-up as a result of the pandemic. Democrats are looking to assume this latest tie-up by mid-March to ensure that heightened unemployment benefits endure through the summer.
