California Unemployment DEBT/Fraud of $21 BILLION DOLLARS

Labor Department sends a strike team to California over a $21 billion unemployment debt and rampant fraud

The Labor Department has deployed a specialized "strike team" to California to investigate improper payments and alleged fraud riddling the state's unemployment insurance program, a system now $21 billion in debt to the federal government and hemorrhaging taxpayer money at a pace that would make even Sacramento blush.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer announced the move after writing a letter to California's Employment Development Department, citing increasing improper payment rates, insufficient timeliness, data accuracy and quality concerns, and serious questions about participants' eligibility and the use of taxpayer funds.
