California's state bureaucracy has faced a series of notable failures in high-tech project implementation, prominently exemplified by the ongoing issues with the Financial Information System for California (FI$Cal) and the abandoned centralized case management system for its courts. The Employment Development Department notably mishandled the distribution of unemployment benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading not only to delays for legitimate applicants but also to massive fraud.
