Unemployment Insurance - Fraud Prevention, Detection, and Enforcement

Summary

The bill adds multifactor authentication for any online portal the Department of Labor uses for unemployment claims, and it requires the department to review claims that share bank accounts, mailing addresses, or IP addresses with other recent claims. It also lets the department recoup fraudulent or overpaid benefits through state income‑tax withholding and raises penalties for fraud. The changes aim to reduce unemployment‑insurance fraud and improve oversight.
