Combating Unemployment Fraud
About this talk
Across the country, fraud is overwhelming many states’ unemployment systems and causing complications for millions of Americans already out of work. The U.S. Department of Labor Office of the Inspector General estimates at least $63 billion has been paid out improperly through fraud or errors nationwide, with a ‘significant’ portion of that attributed to fraud. That amount is roughly 10% of the total amount paid under coronavirus pandemic-related unemployment programs since March.
This perfect storm of fraud activity has been created by the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, the pressure on state government agencies to provide unemployment benefits, and a lack of anti-fraud infrastructure within those state government agencies.
This webinar explores the situation at hand and the paths forward for combating unemployment fraud.
