Eastern MT Business Webinar, Oct. 28

The next presentation of Eastern Montana Business Webinars is scheduled for 10 a.m., Thursday, Oct. 28.

Jennifer Bertrand, Montana Unemployment Insurance Division Claims processing supervisor will present information on State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES). Developed by U.S. Department of Labor and National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA), SIDES provides a nationally standardized format for responding to UI information requests.

SIDES is a convenient and secure way for employers (or their agents) to electronically receive and respond to requests for information regarding unemployment insurance (UI) benefit claims. During the presentation, employers will learn about the many benefits of SIDES. Employers will also be provided information on how to register with SIDES.

Bertrand has been with the Unemployment Insurance Division since 2014. She started her career as a phone center representative, assisting customers and employers with any questions they have about claims. She quickly moved through the ranks of claims adjudication and is now a claims processing supervisor. The part she enjoys most about her job is educating claimants and employers about the Unemployment Insurance program.
