At least $11 billion has been looted fromcoffers in an unemployment fraud scheme run rampant across the state, while another $20 billion in possible losses is still being investigated.
"There is no sugarcoating the reality," Su said during a press conference Monday."California has not had sufficient security measures in place to prevent this level of fraud, and criminals took advantage of the situation." The California Employment Development Department froze the accounts of 1.4 million relying on the assistance earlier this month while it investigated the fraud. As of last week, 1.2 million of the accounts were still suspended.
While admitting the state had been unprepared, Su also said the Trump administration had failed to provide guidance to foil sophisticated unemployment schemes. Su detailed an agency in overdrive trying to process the explosion of new claims as businesses were shuttered. Some 19 million claims have been processed by the department.
