Unemployment Insurance Program Integrity Act

The act governs the integrity of a state's unemployment compensation program, focusing on preventing improper benefit payments and fraudulent claims. It directs the state workforce agency to share data with other agencies and sources to verify claimant eligibility, to act on eligibility determinations, and to establish procedures for recovering overpaid benefits and detecting fraud, including a process by which employers report workers who decline offers to return to work. It further requires periodic reporting to the legislature on program integrity efforts and authorizes the administering agency to adopt implementing rules.
