The new system debuts in Iowa on June 3rd and will improve user experience
Iowa’s unemployment system for processing unemployment insurance claims and helping Iowans find jobs was officially replaced by a new system that will make it easier for Iowans to file for benefits and navigate reentering the workforce.
Beginning June 3, 2025, Iowans will complete all unemployment steps on iowaworks.gov. The site serves as one centralized location for the entire process, including filing a claim and finding new employment.
The new system in IowaWORKS improves the user experience and efficiency for Iowa Workforce Development (IWD) staff by automating many processes. The time that Iowans can file claims has also been expanded.
NFIB is a member-driven organization advocating on behalf of small and independent businesses nationwide.
