Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Criminal Justice

"These shocking estimates continue to grow, and, as GAO notes, we may never know the full scope and scale of fraudulent pandemic payments. Unfortunately, the Administration's efforts to address over one hundred billion dollars in fraud in the UI program have fallen woefully short. Congress should pass the Protecting Taxpayers and Victims of Unemployment Fraud Act to recoup stolen funds for victims and prevent similar large-scale theft from happening in the future."
