Summary
The Stop Unemployment Fraud Act would force states to verify the identity of anyone applying for unemployment benefits using a government‑issued ID and additional documents, and to use data‑matching tools to spot fraud. It also changes when payments can be made and bans claimants from self‑attesting eligibility. The aim is to reduce improper payments while protecting claimants’ rights.
