Dunn Corporate Resources Celebrates 9 Years of SIDES Excellence

At Dunn Corporate Resources, we are proud to announce that we have been honored with the prestigious SIDES Award for Outstanding Performance in Unemployment Claims Response by the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA) for the 9th consecutive year. This remarkable achievement highlights our steadfast commitment to excellence, innovation, and client success in unemployment claims management.

What is the SIDES Award?

The State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES) is a nationwide, web-based platform that streamlines the electronic exchange of unemployment insurance (UI) claims data between employers, third-party administrators (TPAs), and state workforce agencies. By reducing paperwork, curbing fraud, and speeding up response times, SIDES enhances accuracy, security, and efficiency in the claims process. The SIDES Award recognizes organizations that excel in leveraging this system to promote UI integrity and deliver exceptional results for their clients.

Nine Years of Leadership in Unemployment Claims Management

For nine straight years, Dunn Corporate Resources has set the industry standard in unemployment claims response. Our advanced, SIDES-integrated platform enables us to process claims with unparalleled speed and precision, ensuring no claim goes overlooked. This milestone reflects our team’s dedication to:

Rapid Responses: Our fully integrated SIDES system allows us to receive and respond to claims as soon as they are generated by state agencies, providing clients with critical lead time compared to traditional mail-based processes. With some state deadlines as short as 7 days, this efficiency is vital for compliance and cost control.
Precision and Compliance: Each response is meticulously reviewed by our unemployment experts before submission to maximize the likelihood of favorable rulings. Our processes adhere to state-specific laws and federal regulations, helping clients avoid penalties and preserve appeal rights.
Client-Focused Technology: Our intuitive client portal empowers employers to respond to claims, track real-time updates, access claim archives, and generate tailored reports—all within a single, user-friendly dashboard. This transparency simplifies unemployment management for businesses of all sizes.
Cost Efficiency: By harnessing SIDES and our proprietary claims management system, we help clients secure the lowest possible unemployment tax rates, prevent overpayments, and obtain all eligible UI account credits. Our economies of scale deliver significant savings.

Why This Matters to Our Clients

Earning the SIDES Award for nine consecutive years underscores our ability to deliver tangible value to employers across all 50 states. Unemployment claims can be intricate, with varying state deadlines, documentation requirements, and legal complexities. Missed responses or errors can result in lost appeal rights, higher tax rates, or unwarranted payouts. Our award-winning approach ensures clients can focus on their core business while we manage the complexities of claims processing.

As NASWA President and CEO Scott B. Sanders emphasized, organizations recognized for SIDES excellence “demonstrate exceptional dedication to preserving the integrity of the Unemployment Insurance system” and ensure “taxpayer dollars are used responsibly.” We are honored to be among the 61 state agencies, employers, TPAs, and professional employer organizations celebrated for this commitment in 2024.

A Legacy of Innovation and Collaboration

This nine-year streak is more than an award—it’s a reflection of our strong partnerships with clients and our investment in cutting-edge technology. From our early adoption of SIDES to our custom-built software tailored to client needs, we’ve consistently raised the bar for TPA performance. Our team of seasoned HR professionals works closely with clients, offering personalized support, policy guidance, and expertise on everything from termination documentation to navigating state-specific UI regulations.

Looking to the Future

As we celebrate this milestone, we’re already looking ahead. The unemployment landscape is dynamic, with evolving regulations, technologies, and economic trends. Dunn Corporate Resources is committed to staying at the forefront, enhancing our SIDES-integrated systems, and delivering even greater value to our clients.
