Reemployment Assistance Modernization March 2022

Feb 16, 2023
  • As part of its Cloud Migration project, the Department reengaged its Digital Appeals Recording Solution (DARS) vendor to develop an approach and timeline to migrate this technology into a cloud-hosted environment.
  • The Department accepted a deliverable from its database migration vendor, which provided a diagram of the current database flow to support the Cloud Migration project. This diagram maps out the flow of information for the Reemployment Assistance Claims and Benefits Information System to show data inputs, outputs, storage points, and the routes between each destination. Additionally, this diagram is a key information source that supports the Department's analysis and design of the modernized System.
  • Azure Government Cloud staff training was conducted this reporting period to support staff working on the Cloud Migration project. This training helps prepare staff for systems, database, and Cloud administration and provides instruction regarding Microsoft fundamentals.
  • Four additional reports have been fully validated and are now being submitted to the U.S. Department of Labor directly from the Data Warehouse, as part of the Reporting project, including the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) 227 Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation, ETA 9050 First Payment Time Lapse Regular, Partial, and Workshare. Eight (8) additional reports have been developed and are being tested and validated. The ETA 227 Regular Unemployment Compensation, ETA 227 Mixed Earners Unemployment Compensation, and ETA 227 Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation reports are still being validated to ensure compliance with the Unemployment Insurance Program Letter 20-21, Change 1, provided by the U.S. Department of Labor.
  • The Reemployment Claims and Benefits Information System application’s .NET framework is being upgraded from version 4.0 to version 4.8 as part of the .NET and ORM Upgrade project. Local testing is complete; additional testing is ongoing and is forecasted to be complete in June 2022.
  • The Reemployment Claims and Benefits Information System’s Fraud Initiative Rules and Rating Engine (FIRRE) application is being upgraded from version 4.5 to version 4.8 as part of the .NET and ORM Upgrade project. System testing was complete in March 2022. During this period, the Department implemented code changes as part of its regularly scheduled System enhancement schedule. To ensure the performance of the System is functioning as intended with the .NET upgrade, the Department is conducting additional testing.
  • The Reemployment Claims and Benefits Information System application’s Object Relational Mapping (ORM) software is being updated from version 3.5 to version 5.8 as part of the .NET and ORM Upgrade project. In this reporting period, the LLBLGEN layer, which connects the database and the System, is currently being upgraded. Development of the LLBLGEN layer is ongoing and is forecast to be complete in October 2022. The Department anticipates having a more accurate forecast for completion next month, following the completion of development activities.
  • To support the procurement writing efforts that will be provided by the System and Software Integration vendor, the Department developed a project schedule for all Rules Engine project activities. The ISF Final Report published in Feb. 2020 recommends the Department perform an analysis of the existing business rules and identify which business rules will be decommissioned in the existing System and implemented in a rules engine during the two-year modernization effort. During this reporting period, the Department continued evaluating the existing business rules and analyzing which business rules will be considered in-scope for the two-year modernization effort that will provide direct support to the Incremental CX/UX Mobile Responsive Software Transformation project. Remaining rules will be integrated into the Rules Engine as part of a continuous modernization effort.
  • The Department continued documenting procedures required to migrate existing technical processes documentation from the existing technical processes documentation tool to a new tool that will help streamline development operations processes as part of the SDLC DevOps project.
