Washington State goes live with Aware
July 28, 2005
On July 21, the Washington State Employment Security Department (WSESD) went live with On Point Technology's Aware product, making it the first state to implement the unemployment insurance benefits application. WSESD has already loaded 28 files into the system, including such diverse records as benefit payment history, appeals, claimant profile, employer data and wage detail. An original cadre of 20 users has been trained, but the number of users will likely increase as the agency becomes more familiar with Aware and identifies additional staff whose functions could be enhanced with access to the application.
The On Point Technology installation team credits Kathy Moore and the Office of Special Investigations, and Brian Kerr and Yousef Fahoum from the Department's Network Services Unit for their efforts in contributing to a successful implementation.
