In an EDD conference call, Julie Su, secretary for the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency said, "Of the 114 billion dollars in unemployment paid by California since March, approximately 10% has been confirmed as fraudulent. An additional 17% of the paid claims have been identified as potentially fraudulent."
That's $11.4 billion confirmed and as much as $20 billion more in fraud.
"There is no sugar coating the reality, California did not have sufficient security measures in place to prevent this level of fraud," Su said.
Keep in mind that this debacle occurred under the watch of California labor secretary Julie Su whom the Biden Administration just nominated for the No. 2 position at the U.S. Labor Department.
Yikes.
