TCS to modernise unemployment claims system of US state of Georgia

India’s Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) said on Thursday it has been selected by the labour department of the US state of Georgia to replace its unemployment insurance system with a cloud-based platform that will streamline the claims process and ensure prompt financial assistance.

Georgia experienced a surge in unemployment claims during the pandemic – the third highest in the nation – that placed tremendous strain on its 40-year-old unemployment system and underscored the urgent need for change.
