Summary

The bill would require claimants and employers to use two‑factor authentication on the unemployment portal, submit government‑issued ID, and trigger automatic reviews when bank accounts, addresses or IP addresses appear duplicated. It raises the civil penalty for fraudulent claims from 15% to 20% of the benefits, adds interest, and lets the state recover overpayments through tax‑refund withholding. It also expands reporting, disqualification periods and mandates referral of fraud cases to law‑enforcement.
