What is unemployment fraud?
Unemployment fraud is when it is suspected a person has inappropriately received unemployment insurance benefits. The most common form of unemployment fraud is when a person is working under the table or full time while also receiving unemployment benefits.
Anyone who suspects a person is working and failing to report earnings, while also filing for unemployment compensation, should contact this department’s Program Integrity Unit at (802) 828-4333 or transmit a completed fraud report.
