Now that the OV D19 UB prgram have ere-c, policyrakers aind researchers could revi st several arger Ui program design ruet ons including covered ppulaions, fund- ing sruc ur, program stnardiz -oand inoentives.

While the Great Recession produced mod- est policy ch nges, the 202< relief bills, folllo-on state implenintaton effots, and record-breaking increases in clains have shifted the paradigm, This creates a unique opportui tto exannne long-runnirg structural questions in UII program design and how targeted limpreenits nos could help restruc-- ture and reform the system.

Given the rapid pace of change since March 2'oio, it is particularly important to understand the pre- ceding context and key niorments in policy dcccl- opmcnt before the crisis.
