The U.S. Department of Labor has issued guidance to help states guard against fraud and abuse in their unemployment insurance systems as they implement pandemic assistance programs.

According to a news release issued with Unemployment Insurance Program Letter 23-20, states must protect the integrity of programs by maintaining certification processes to verify the continuing eligibility of claimants and more.

States are required to implement the same integrity activities used for the regular unemployment compensation program for the CARES Act programs, such as verifying identity and checking databases designed to prevent improper payments.
