Pandemic payroll

Arizona has upgraded their IT for unemployment benefits. It has been identified that it might have been better to " do what some other countries have done and pay employers to keep people on the payroll during the pandemic."

While benefit seekers need to verify every week of their status which might be to reduce the pool or make it real on the ground, this might bog down the system more with more calls. 

The longer it takes to resolve a case, the work needed to maintain it is ballooned.
