GREEN VALLEY RANCH, Colo. â Monica Newman says each week that passes puts her closer to a deadline.
"I feel stressed out. I'm having panic attacks at night just thinking about how I'm going to cover these bills the next month," Newman said.
Newman's account is one of the thousands on hold due to fraud suspicion, according to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.
"As of July 1, our system showed that 4,310 claimants are still on hold as a result of continued suspicion of fraud," an agency spokesperson said during a press call on July 16.
