Building Resilience Action Area 4: Bolstering State UI Programs Against Fraud
This section of the Building Resilience plan outlines comprehensive strategies to help states prevent, detect, and recover unemployment insurance (UI) fraud while protecting legitimate claimants.
Action Area 4 details the Department of Labor’s efforts to strengthen UI program integrity through improved fraud risk assessments, expanded cross-matching capabilities, and evidence-based identity verification.
It describes completed and ongoing strategies such as direct data access for audits, fraud detection grants, national ID verification support, and state partnerships with law enforcement. The plan also proposes legislative reforms to make fraud prevention infrastructure mandatory across states and incentivize program integrity investments, ensuring benefits reach eligible recipients and fraud is effectively prosecuted.
