The Kansas Department of Labor unemployment benefits website is pictured Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2020.
Amid a flood of both legitimate and fraudulent unemployment claims following the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, the Kansas Department of Labor estimates that it paid out $290 million in fraudulent unemployment claims last year.
The Department of Labor arrived at that number following an analysis and IRS Form 1099-G reconciliation, according to a news release from the Kansas governor’s office on Tuesday afternoon. More specifically, the release states that in 2020, about $140 million in fraudulent claim payments were made from Kansas’ regular unemployment insurance program, and more than $150 million in fraudulent claims were paid out from federal benefits programs, for a total of $290 million.
