The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development says people making unemployment claims should notice improvements in the system soon.
The state has signed a $17-million contract with the software company Flexion.
The computer system used to pay unemployment claims was swamped during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic last year.
Wisconsin will use federal funds to pay for the entire project – which could wind up costing $90 million.
Some people had to wait several months to receive their payments.
