Kentucky has awarded a $55.5M contract to Deloitte Consulting to replace its 40-year-old unemployment insurance system, which struggled during the pandemic. The new system is expected to be fully implemented by 2028, following a 90-120 day planning process. The contract was awarded to address issues that emerged during the pandemic, when a record surge of jobless claims led to processing backlogs.
