The UI ARPA Tiger Teams Experience - States' Perspectives

A multi-state panel discussion providing the perspective of five states’ experiences with the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Tiger Team project. More than 24 states have worked with multi-disciplinary Tiger Team consultants to conduct discovery assessments and propose solutions to address fraud, timeliness, and equitable access. Listen to how these states have taken advantage of this opportunity and learn about the various stages of the process including initial analysis and information gathering, recommendation selection and development, implementation of resulting recommendations, and how it fits into other state initiatives, such as UI equity grants and UI modernization efforts.
