Kansas Department of Labor launches effort to stop identity theft-related unemployment fraud
3KSN - Wichita
TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNW) – The Kansas Department of Labor announced actions it is taking in an effort to combat the growing threat of identity theft.
Kansas, like every other state, is seeing a historic increase in reports of fraudulent unemployment claims. To date, KDOL has prevented approximately 45,000 identity theft-related fraudulent claims from being paid out.
“We are seeing a record spike in identity theft-related unemployment fraud in Kansas and nationally,” acting Kansas Secretary of Labor Ryan Wright said. “Identity theft is not a nameless, faceless crime. Fraudsters are victimizing our family members, friends, neighbors and coworkers. The Kansas Department of Labor is working with law enforcement and adding additional layers of protection for Kansans, but we need your help to combat this growing threat.”
