Fraud control
Programs have been developed to detect and prevent benefit claim fraud and abuse. These include the Wage Reporting System, which compares the payroll information you submit each quarter with UI benefits paid. Occasionally, you may be asked to provide detailed information for a specific claim to determine if it is properly paid. The success of this program and others relies heavily on your prompt assistance and cooperation. UI fraud increases the financial burden on employers who contribute to the system. Any suspected instances of claimant fraud should be reported on our toll-free Fraud Hotline at 1-888-598-2077, or to an UI fraud investigation office (see Unemployment insurance fraud investigation offices ).
