The article links to https://www.wired.com/story/cant-file-unemployment-dont-blam... which has more background.

This is the same info as I was aware of. The problem was crashing servers. But my complaint is that this article instead spends a lot of time complaining about the input forms

Yes. As so often, the link for background information actually is the better text than the article under discussion.
