Crackdown on unemployment fraud in California is "complete disaster" for some with legitimate claims

January 14, 2021

"It's just a complete disaster. And it's a disaster that is deeply harming millions of Californians," said California State Senator Scott Wiener. 

A disaster because in order to combat the fraud, Wiener says, not only were bogus accounts shut down, but so were hundreds of thousands of legitimate accounts.

"I understand there's a fraud problem, but they need to stop throwing the baby out with the bathwater," he said. "And stop forcing people into homelessness, frankly."
