Richmond — The Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) successfully launched the new Virginia Unemployment Insurance System (VUIS) today, Wednesday, November 17, 2021. The new system marks the third and final phase of a multi-year effort to modernize VEC systems.  The new system includes a number of enhancements to better assist customers, to include online access to documents, an improved user experience with dynamic claims filing, and a customer dashboard for claims filing status and other inquiry information.  The VEC has invested a great amount of time and resources into the modernization of its Virginia Unemployment Insurance System, and will implement future enhancements as part of its ongoing operations and maintenance program.

Commissioner Hess noted, “We are extremely proud of the work our team has invested in this effort.  We look forward to the improvements this system will provide to our customers.”  VEC customers can access and learn more about the new system by visiting the website at www.vec.virginia.gov.
