Unemployment insurance fraud

Have I mentioned fraud, duplication and corruption before, as the first step in reducing spending? But any time you do mention it, you are called a racist, or other bad words.

The U.S. government paid out billions in unemployment benefits to people who were actually working, a new report finds, sparking concerns that a big share of the money meant for the jobless isn't going to the workers who are struggling the most.

Unemployment insurance fraud cost the federal government $3.3 billion in 2011, according to a recent report from the St. Louis Federal Reserve. The largest share of fraudulent unemployment benefits went to people who were still working: $2.2 billion or two-thirds of the fraudulent payments, according to the report.

Nearly a half-billion dollars went to workers earning at least $900 a week or $46,800 a year, the report found. That's only slightly less than the U.S. household median income of $49,909 in 2011, according to a study from two Census Bureau researchers from that year. Those earning less than $300 per week received $210 million of the fraudulent benefits, or less than 10 percent.
