Employers and third-party administrators (TPAs) are all too familiar with the challenges associated with responding to paper-based unemployment insurance (UI) information requests. The State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES) and SIDES E–Response are designed to make it easier and more efficient for employers and TPAs to respond to UI information requests.
