SIDES E-Response

State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES) E-Response

The State Information Data Exchange System E-Response (SIDES E-Response) was developed through a strategic partnership between the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) and state unemployment insurance (UI) agencies.  SIDES E-Response offers employers and third-party administrators (TPAs) – free of charge – a secure, electronic and nationally-standardized format to better anticipate and supply the data needed for responding to UI information requests, reducing follow-up phone calls and streamlining UI response processes.

DOES it excited to announce that the State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES) E-Response is being updated! SIDES E-Response is a free website where employers and their representatives can quickly, accurately, and securely submit responses to Unemployment Insurance claims.

  • Questions specifically related to the reason for separation
  • A new and efficient process to collect employment details from temporary staffing agencies
