COVID-19: Impact of Waivers on UI Overpayments, Fraud Investigations, and Recoveries
On February 7, 2022, DOL issued Unemployment Insurance Program Letter 20-21, Change 1, regarding states’ ability to waive the recovery of certain UI overpayments under the CARES Act program. There are concerns these waivers could adversely impact the pursuit of fraud in the UI program. Also, the waivers could potentially allow for fraudulent CARES Act UI payments to go unrecovered. This audit will determine the impact of waivers on UI overpayments, fraud investigations, and recoveries.
