Criminals are seizing on a surge in job losses to steal unemployment benefits from Americans nationwide.
. This complicates an already tough situation for millions of financially strapped Americans and overwhelmed state unemployment offices.
This forces unemployed workers, already reeling from the loss of a job, to fight for the benefits they need and are entitled to. Additionally, state unemployment agencies have been overwhelmed by claims and are working to get payments to those in need as fast as possible. In some cases, security experts say the new processes, added workload and outdated systems may have made it easier for criminals to act.
In many cases, victims don’t know they have been affected until they apply for benefits and find out someone has beat them to the punch. Some even find their benefit payments halted when a criminal usurps their benefits. On Thursday, officials in Washington said the state has recovered $333 million out an estimated $550 million to $650 million paid out fraudulently.
