Contact Center Operations
Increase timeliness and efficiency with turn-key contact center operations.
Solid State Operations contact center services are designed to make a meaningful impact on claimants lives and strengthen communities through partnerships with state government agencies.
Our goal is to enhance State Workforce Agencies (SWA) capacity to effectively support unemployment insurance (UI) departments to reduce contact volumes, encourage self-service channels, and be a force multiplier to state staff fact-finding efforts.
We succeed at managing complex programs at the state level. By introducing innovations tailored to unemployment insurance and strategically integrating communication solutions, we are delivering outcomes that meet the unique needs of each claimant.

Claimant Services
One of our core capabilities is implementing and managing state agency contact centers for unemployment insurance. We provide scalable solutions staffed with the industry’s top talent.
Our contact center administrators rapidly recruit, screen, and hire qualified candidates from local communities. We also invest in comprehensive training so staff are knowledgeable about critical program policies and aware of your mission.
Our operations generate claimant resolution by encouraging use of self-service channels and by addressing common concerns through calls, chats, and messages. This results in increased effectiveness of first contact resolutions and subsequently reduced contact volumes.
We also offer after-hours accessibility which improves the claimant experience and provides relief for strained state agencies.
