Unemployment insurance fraud is a term that refers to the unlawful receipt of unemployment insurance benefits by ineligible individuals. Unemployment insurance fraud occurs when an individual commits certain prohibited acts under the joint federal-state unemployment insurance program in order to claim benefits that they are not entitled to receive.[1]
Unemployment insurance fraud is committed in a variety of ways with penalties ranging from monetary fines to incarceration, depending on the state.[1]
