US Department of Labor Issues Staggering Fiscal Year Improper Unemployment Payment Data

The US Department of Labor has issued 2021 Fiscal Year data which breaks down the improper payments by state including improper payment percentages and total dollar amounts.  These overpayment rates are staggering with Virginia and Florida topping the charts at and 49% and 48% respectively.  To put this in perspective, if an employer was charged for $100,000 in unemployment benefits an average of $49,000 is erroneous!
