1/10th isn't even close. In my state you were looking at 40x the volume. And you have a good point, that much more traffic is probably going to break a lot of systems. Not to mention, even if the systems were only down for a few hours or a few days, the government agencies just don't have the manpower to process all those claims. Especially when people are working from home or not working at all. Then you have the massive fraud. A perfect time for scammers to apply for unemployment benefits. Remember the people who don't have computers and call their claims in via touch-tone. Those systems all crashed as well, or had busy signals for weeks.
