4 thoughts on “Fraud could be to blame for unexpected spike in Indiana jobless claims

  1. My husband, who is a sole proprietor with no employees, had a fraudulent unemployment claim against his company last week. It appears the DWD has a weakness in their system where anyone can file a claim simply by entering a business name, address, and an (incorrect/non-existent) employer account number. This occurred even though my husband’s business does not exist within the DWD system. He had to spend an 1+ hour on the phone just to register the problem with the DWD fraud dept. Waste of time for a small business.

  2. Well, maybe it’s just that people laid off earlier finally were finally able to through on the phone or get their applications processed?

  3. No, people are hearing about others filing claims so they figure “why not”? Stimulus package was rushed & poorly thought out. These “false claims” by unscrupulous people, have screwed a lot of legit businesses & their workforce. As if shut downs weren’t disabling enough, add another layer of crap to the obstacles of small businesses. I have heard of people that are charging people to do all the legwork & file claims for them!
