FRAUD PROVISIONS
RECOVERY PROVISIONS, FINES, AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES—For fraud, including willful misrepresentation and concealment of facts, states utilize the same methods to recover overpayments as they do for nonfraud overpayments. Most states allow criminal prosecution, which can lead to fines and prison sentences. Federal law requires a mandatory penalty assessment for fraudulent claims of not less than 15 percent of the amount of the erroneous payment against claimants committing fraud in connection with state and/or federal UC programs. States may impose civil penalties in excess of 15 percent, but collection of the first 15 percent must be immediately deposited into the state’s account in the unemployment trust fund.
Although UI benefit fraud typically involves an individual’s attempt to obtain or increase benefits, it also includes employers who attempt to prevent or reduce benefits to eligible individuals, and employers who help an individual attempting to fraudulently claim benefits. The following table reflects state law provisions on how states treat benefit fraud. Refer to Chapter 5, Nonmonetary Eligibility, for additional information on disqualification periods for fraud and misrepresentation.

FRAUD PROVISIONS
RECOVERY PROVISIONS, FINES, AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES—For fraud, including willful misrepresentation and concealment of facts, states utilize the same methods to recover overpayments as they do for nonfraud overpayments. Most states allow criminal prosecution, which can lead to fines and prison sentences. Federal law requires a mandatory penalty assessment for fraudulent claims of not less than 15 percent of the amount of the erroneous payment against claimants committing fraud in connection with state and/or federal UC programs. States may impose civil penalties in excess of 15 percent, but collection of the first 15 percent must be immediately deposited into the state’s account in the unemployment trust fund.
Although UI benefit fraud typically involves an individual’s attempt to obtain or increase benefits, it also includes employers who attempt to prevent or reduce benefits to eligible individuals, and employers who help an individual attempting to fraudulently claim benefits. The following table reflects state law provisions on how states treat benefit fraud. Refer to Chapter 5, Nonmonetary Eligibility, for additional information on disqualification periods for fraud and misrepresentation.

FRAUD PROVISIONS
RECOVERY PROVISIONS, FINES, AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES—For fraud, including willful misrepresentation and concealment of facts, states utilize the same methods to recover overpayments as they do for nonfraud overpayments. Most states allow criminal prosecution, which can lead to fines and prison sentences. Federal law requires a mandatory penalty assessment for fraudulent claims of not less than 15 percent of the amount of the erroneous payment against claimants committing fraud in connection with state and/or federal UC programs. States may impose civil penalties in excess of 15 percent, but collection of the first 15 percent must be immediately deposited into the state’s account in the unemployment trust fund.
Although UI benefit fraud typically involves an individual’s attempt to obtain or increase benefits, it also includes employers who attempt to prevent or reduce benefits to eligible individuals, and employers who help an individual attempting to fraudulently claim benefits. The following table reflects state law provisions on how states treat benefit fraud. Refer to Chapter 5, Nonmonetary Eligibility, for additional information on disqualification periods for fraud and misrepresentation.
