AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
Title III of the Social Security Act
(SSA), 42 U.S.C. 501–503; the Federal
Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA), 26
U.S.C. 3304; Section 2118 of the

II of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C.
2271 et seq.), as amended; 20 CFR parts
603 & 604.
PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:
The Unemployment Insurance
Claimant Portal (UICP) encompasses a
joint state-federal program that provides
cash benefits to eligible workers for
unemployment insurance (UI). Each
state administers a separate UI program
under their respective state law, which
must comply with guidelines
established by federal law.
The UICP is a component of the
Unemployment Insurance State Program
American Rescue Plan Act investment.
The UICP is part of a wider effort to
modernize UI. The UICP system
provides UI applicants with the ability
to file and manage UI claims, and states
with an improved UI claims intake
process. Information about a claim will
be captured and ultimately processed
and owned by the state that will process
the claim.
The information will consist of
personally identifiable information (PII)
as well as employment-related data
consisting of start date of employment,
end date of employment, reasons for
separation, addresses and phone
numbers. Claimants will navigate to the
UICP web application and complete an
identity-proofing and authentication
process using an approved third-party
provider. The third-party service
provider will collect and encrypt
applicant’s email, password, name, date
of birth, social security number, and
images of a state issued identification
card. The claimant will then file claims

information or manage existing claims
information. Finally, claimant data will
be sent to or retrieved from states as
needed.
While the UICP provides a user
interface for claimants, the states
themselves are still responsible for
eligibility determinations, adjudication,
and other administration of the UI
program. Therefore, claims data
collected by the UICP must be shared
with states to ensure states have the
information necessary to administer the
UI program. As determined through
state agreements, data may also be
shared back with the UICP to convey
claims status information to claimants.
Finally, the UICP will collect
information about claims that is not
personally identifiable, such as
timestamps at various phases in the
claims process, and metadata. Such data
may be used to evaluate how well the
system is performing on timeliness,
equity, and other considerations.
CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE
SYSTEM:
Applicants for and claimants of State
or Federal unemployment
compensation, employers or employees
covered under a State or Federal
unemployment compensation law,
Disaster Unemployment Assistance or a
short-time compensation program.
CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
Records in the system(s) may include
personally identifiable information such
as: Name, date of birth, social security
number, address phone number and
images necessary to verify the identity
of an applicant or claimant; claims files;
determinations by a State Workforce
Agency and any case notes,
conversation history, or other records
used in making determinations;
employer contribution records;
employer wage records; account
information such as email address and
password; timestamps and metadata;
and financial information such as
preferred payment method and tax
withholding selection.
RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:
Information contained in this system
is obtained from individuals, employers,
and Federal and State Government
agencies.
ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE
SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND
PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
In addition to the disclosures
permitted under 5 U.S.C. 522a(b) and

limitations in 20 CFR part 603, records

afford the cost of legal representation in
connection with decisions’’ of, or other

Public Law 102–229 requires this
assistance to be provided through ‘‘a

and referral, training and education for
attorney and related personnel, and
encouragement and facilitation of pro
bono representation by members of the
bar and law school clinical and other
appropriate programs, such as veterans
service organizations, and through
defraying expenses incurred in

Process
Applicants must first submit a PreApplication to LSC via email to
TaboasA@lsc.gov by Thursday, April 14,

will be notified of approval to submit a
full application by early May 2022. Full
