A new report by Kentucky Auditor Mike Harmon said employees within the Office of Unemployment Insurance were able to access and view their own jobless claims and those findings have been turned over to the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office.
Harmon issued an adverse opinion on Kentucky’s compliance with federal unemployment insurance program requirements. An adverse opinion is the worst opinion that can be issued for an audit.
The latest report listed 21 findings, with eight findings dealing with the unemployment insurance system. There were five findings dealing with the unemployment office released in February.
One of the new findings deals with employees within the unemployment office accessing their own UI claims, despite receiving training not to do so.
While thousands waited for help, state workers gamed the system to collect jobless benefits

An obituary posted Monday night says McNamara died “after a battle with chronic depression.” Bardstown police chief Kim Kraezig told WDRB the cause of death appears to be self-inflicted.
McNamara died in Bardstown, where he lived with his wife Audrey Haydon and their two daughters.
According to the obituary, McNamara was a big Washington Nationals fan and loving father who had recently enjoyed introducing his daughter to his own favorite childhood books during a nightly bedtime ritual. The obituary also says McNamara’s time at home with his family after the birth of his youngest daughter in August was “a precious gift they will all treasure forever.”
