Unemployment Insurance (UI) Integrity Data Hub

Client: U.S. Department of Labor | 2015-Present

NASWA is partnered with U.S. Department of Labor to develop and operate the Integrity Data Hub (IDH), a centralized data collection and analysis system designed to support state workforce agencies in the proper administration of UI benefits. The IDH enables states to securely transmit UI claims data, including confidential and personally identifiable information (PII), for real-time analysis and cross-matching against other state’s UI data and third-party data sources, including U.S. Treasury payment records. This unique approach to national claim data collection and real-time analysis allow users to identify indicators of fraud and improper payments before payments are made. States enter into participation agreements to submit and receive data through the IDH and its associated functionalities.
