DENVER (AP) An audit of Colorado s unemployment insurance fund in Colorado could not verify the accounting of hundreds of millions of dollars in and out of the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.
“The State of Colorado did not have an adequate methodology to substantiate the estimated amount of receivables and payables within the Unemployment Insurance Fund,” the audit said.
The audit means the state could not track $510 million received from the department s employer premiums and through coronavirus relief aid, and was also unable to track $872 million in unemployment claims through the end of June, KUSA-TV reported Tuesday.
