Republicans introduce bill to combat unemployment fraud with ID checks and stricter enforcement.
Republican lawmakers James Lankford and Lloyd Smucker introduced the Stop Unemployment Fraud Act to address ongoing vulnerabilities in the federal-state unemployment insurance system, following an estimated $100 billion in improper payments during the pandemic, primarily due to weak identity verification and self-certification.
The bill mandates states to verify claimants’ identities using government-issued IDs, strengthens work search enforcement, improves coordination, and incentivizes recovery of stolen funds, aiming to prevent future fraud, especially in states with high overpayment rates.
