New report reveals why Ohio's unemployment benefits system saw fraud amid COVID-19

[TexasTowelie]

A new report from Ohio Auditor Keith Faber's office released Thursday dived in-depth into the fraud plaguing the state's unemployment benefits system, pointing to multiple reasons including failure of early action, lack of controls, relaxed verification rules and outdated infrastructure.

All those factors led to the system allowing for more than $475 million to be paid to criminals while another $3.3 billion in overpayments were made, said the report, which covered the timeframe from April 2020 to June 2021.

The good news is that many of those issues are on their way to being fixed under new leadership at the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and new solutions being implemented.

"This is a problem that I'm glad at least it's getting better," said Faber in an interview. "But it was a problem that occurred in Ohio, and it's our job to point those things out."

1. With all the corruption

In the Republican Party why am I not surprised?

ECOT online school? 28 million, been in court for years.

61 million Householder bribery scandal re-elected. Took almost a year to throw him out. In court. DeWine signed.

Independent Committee, voted on twice, overwhelmingly. DeWine put himself, 4 others, 2 Democrats. Drew up their own gerrymandered plan. Just like the old one. Vote 5 to 2! Surprise! Only good for 4 years, long enough to get them re-elected. DeWine son, judge refuses to recuse himself to hear case because his Dad not involved.

The corruption has gone from hip deep to neck.

Ohio GOP worse than Texas!
