Quick Glance: Billions lost to unemployment fraud during Covid
- Up to $135 billion in unemployment insurance benefits may have been lost to fraud during Covid-19, according to a Government Accountability Office report released Tuesday, which is more than double the previous estimate.
- In December, GAO estimated that around $60 billion may have been lost to UI fraud, but officials later realized that this figure was significantly underestimated.
- The report acknowledges that the full extent of UI fraud during the pandemic will likely never be known for certain.
- The fraud was caused by vulnerabilities in the state-federal partnership that existed long before the pandemic and were worsened by emergency relief measures passed by Congress to assist unemployed individuals.
