LANSING, Mich. — More than a year after additional money started flowing to people facing unemployment, state officials say they are seeing a huge effort by criminals to get their hands on some of those funds.
The Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency says from April 2 to April 7 it flagged nearly 100,000 new claims for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA). The large number of suspected fraud cases is part of a large increase in the total number of claims made over the 5 day period reported by the agency.
