With hundreds of billions in government aid flowing across America, criminals are capitalizing on the confusion and volume to perpetrate an unprecedented scale of fraud – and take money from those who need it most. The U.S. Department of Labor is funding $100 million for state efforts to combat this fraud and recover improper payments. How can states ensure this critical aid ends up in the right hands? Join Jon Coss, Vice President - Risk, Fraud, and Compliance, Thomson Reuters, Lisa Schmith, Leadership Consultant and former Chief Investigator, Unemployment Insurance Fraud, and Randy Gillespie, Project Director, Unemployment Insurance Integrity Center, NASWA as they discuss:

  • How this new funding effort by the DOL can turn the tide
