Increasing unemployment insurance take-up: Less than half of U.S. workers who are laid off and eligible for unemployment insurance actually claim this benefit. Brendan will partner with the Washington State Employment Security Department to determine the causes for this incomplete enrollment and test a program to increase unemployment insurance take-up among recently laid-off workers in the state of Washington.
