A new unemployment system is coming soon! Earlier this month, IWD announced an historic upgrade to make Iowa's unemployment system easier, faster, and more secure. In order to replace a decades-old system, a one-time system pause will take place during the week before launch.

New instructional videos are now available to help showcase some of the features that claimants and individuals can expect with the new system in IowaWORKS.
