Trump Admin Warns States to Curb Unemployment Fraud or Lose Federal Funds
The Trump administration has put all 50 states on notice, threatening to withhold unemployment administration funds unless they crack down on jobless benefit fraud.
The Labor Department has warned states that they risk losing federal funding for unemployment administration if they fail to address fraud in jobless benefits. All 50 states have been put on notice.
