State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES) and E-Response

The State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES) and SIDES E-Response offer employers and third-party administrators (TPA) — free of charge — secure, electronic and standardized format to supply the information needed for responding to reemployment assistance (RA) benefit claim notices/information requests rather than by U.S. Postal Service mail.

SIDES and SIDES E-Response give employers an easy and efficient way to respond to RA information requests, saving time and money by:

• Eliminating mail delivery allowing more time to gather information and respond timely.
• Ensuring complete information is provided the first time reducing the need for phone calls.
• Reducing paper handling, staff time and postage costs.

SIDES E-Response is a website through which employers and TPAs submit electronic responses to RA information requests. SIDES provides a more automated data-sharing and file-tracking interface between employers' IT systems and state agency networks. SIDES is especially helpful to those who typically deal with a large volume of RA information and operate in multiple states. For more information on these two options, view a SIDES and SIDES E-Response Comparison Table (Adobe PDF format).

For additional information on the SIDES computer-to-computer interface system, including how to sign up for it, view the SIDES Introductory Guide (Adobe PDF format).
