The State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES) website is currently down for scheduled maintenance on Nov. 19 from 8-Noon ET.

If you have not registered your business with KDOL, please do so before signing up for SIDES. Register your business.

The State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES and SIDES E-Response) allows companies to electronically respond to unemployment insurance (UI) information requests from KDOL. This eliminates delays at both ends caused by mailing the documents.

These programs are secure and free of charge. They help your company simplify and streamline responses to UI information requests by offering the following benefits:

• Ensures accurate information exchanges
• Reduces administrative costs
• Saves time
• Minimizes UI rates
• Addresses causes of UI overpayments

SIDES E-Response

SIDES E-Response may be the perfect system for employers with a low number of unemployment claims. It requires no additional software, only a simple registration with KDOL.

Access the SIDES E-Response system by logging into your KDOL tax account.

New employers who sign up online for a UI tax account are automatically signed up for SIDES E-Response.

Ready to sign up? You will need your FEIN (with no dash), your State Unemployment Tax Account Number (10 digits).

What happens next?

When KDOL requests unemployment information, you will receive an email instructing you to login to your SIDES account and provide the necessary information.

It's fast, secure, and saves you time and money.
