Kentucky UI Division meeting highlights state's implementation of Barts
December 13, 2005
The Kentucky Office of Employment and Training's Unemployment Insurance Division hosted a meeting October 18–20 entitled "Region 3 Denied Case Accuracy (DCA) Group Case Review," which drew a crowd of representatives from other unemployment insurance departments in Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Members of the National Office of the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (DOL/ETA) also attended the event, as well as representatives from the DOL/ETA's Regional Offices in Boston, San Francisco, Atlanta and Dallas.
A major goal of the meeting was to increase state program improvement efforts, and the session provided an excellent opportunity for attendees to exchange ideas and information in order to better understand the different practices and procedures each state follows in the DCA process.
One highlight of the meeting was Mie Sloan's presentation on the Kentucky implementation of On Point Technology's Barts software. Sloan is Kentucky's State and Federal Section Supervisor and was a key player in the Barts implementation. She manages the agency staff members who use the application for fraud and overpayment detection on a daily basis.
During the presentation, Sloan shared with the audience statistics that show the success Kentucky has had with Barts. She then answered questions regarding the agency's experience with the implementation and their working relationship with On Point Technology.
