UC Management System

The Unemployment Compensation Management System, or UCMS, replaces the UC Tax portion of the Unemployment Compensation (UC) program's 40 year old legacy system. It allows real-time, 24-hour access to employer account data in a secure environment.

The Department of Labor & Industry requires that employers file UC quarterly tax and wage reports electronically through UCMS. Paper UC-2 and UC-2A forms are no longer being mailed.

Please use the links below to learn more about UCMS's UC Tax and Wage functionalities.
