We’ve a lot of people call into our newsroom Monday regarding problems with the state’s new unemployment system.

KOB Eyewitness News 4 has a crew working on the story – but for now, here’s what we know.

The Department of Workforce Solution launched a new claims system Sunday.

The department’s website directs people to call a 1-800 number if they have problems.

But people we’ve talked to say they’ve done that – and haven’t been able to reach anyone.

We do have a crew digging for answers on this story and will bring you much more in our evening newscasts.
