Expert: Ohio lags other states in stopping huge unemployment fraud Josh Sweigart
Ohio unlike other states failed to put measures in place to detect and prevent massive unemployment fraud that’s part of a scheme that could total $100 billion nationally, an expert told the Dayton Daily News.
The widespread fraud also has delayed payment to Ohioans with legitimate claims.
State officials in December identified more than 56,000 claims totaling $330 million as fraudulent. But the number could be much larger. Of the roughly 1.4 million applicants for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, more than half have been flagged as potentially fraudulent.
Haywood Talcove, CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions Government division, said in an interview with the Dayton Daily News that his company could stop the fraud in two days.
