Attorney General Nessel Establishes Unemployment Insurance Fraud Task Force To Pursue Bad Actors
Attorney General Dana Nessel announced the creation of a Task Force to bring special focus and additional resources to bear in investigating and prosecuting fraud in the unemployment insurance program. The urgency to process claims and get benefits to Michigan families in need during the COVID-19 crisis created new opportunities for fraudsters to exploit the system. This Task Force is intended to help send the message that there are criminal consequences for fleecing a taxpayer-funded system intended to be a safety net for unemployed Michiganders.
In addition to the Attorney General, the other agencies participating in this task force include:
- The Michigan State Police
- The U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General
- The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity
- The Michigan Department of Management & Budget
- The Michigan Department of Treasury
