More precisely, the fraud that DOGE "uncovered" occurred several years back and has been identified, investigated (many of the "suspicious" findings in the DOL reports were not actual instances of fraud), and prosecuted. This isn't fraud committed by the federal government or its employees; it's fraud committed on the various state unemployment bureaus. Identifying fraud is just the first step. You then have to prosecute, recoup what money you can, and send people to jail. You also have to put safeguards in place to reduce the possibility of additional fraud.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 07, 2025 9:21 amSo what is your overall point, sss? There is no fraud in the federal government? Go for it.
The federal government has no direct role in administering the unemployment insurance process. That's up to the states, and they were caught woefully shorthanded and underprepared in the wake of COVID and the flood of fraudulent claims filed by desperate people or those seeing an opportunity for a fast buck.
If you had read the DOL reports and literature, most of which were written during the Biden administration, you would see that federal and state governments have taken steps to reduce the types of fraud that arose a few years back.
DOGE accomplished nothing with their "shocking" report other than to grab headlines in right-wing media and give gullible people like you the impression that they were rooting out previously unknown fraud, when everything they reported was well known years ago and being remedied.
