Which is why the public gets ripped into paying MORE taxes etc. Workmans
comp is another rip...the size of awards is unreal and causes THAT ins to go
unreasonable levels..

States fiddle while defrauders steal
June 21, 2005, 4:00 AM PT
By Michael Alter
More than 9 million American consumers fall victim to identity theft each
year.
But the most underpublicized identity theft crime is one in which thieves
defraud state governments of payroll taxes by filing fraudulent unemployment
claims.
It can be a fairly lucrative scheme, too. File a false unemployment claim
and you can receive $400 per week for 26 weeks. Do it for 100 Social
Security numbers and you've made a quick $1.04 million. It's tough to make
crime pay much better than that.
The victims in this crime--the state work force agencies that tirelessly
oversee our unemployment insurance programs and the U.S. Department of
Labor--are reluctant to discuss this topic for obvious reasons.
