Audit reveals rampant unemployment fraud in blue states
A startling audit by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has uncovered that three heavily Democratic states—California, New York, and Massachusetts—account for an astonishing 80% of unemployment fraud since 2020.
The audit reveals a staggering $382 million in improper unemployment insurance payments stemming from these states.
Among some of the most egregious findings, the review highlighted that 24,500 individuals over the age of 115 collectively claimed $59 million in benefits. Alarmingly, around 28,000 children between the ages of 1 and 5 managed to claim a whopping $254 million. There were even claims from 9,700 individuals with purported birth dates set far into the future, totaling $69 million in fraudulent payments.
A notable case included someone claiming $41,000 in benefits with a birth date listed as 2154. Such blatant fraud raises significant questions about the oversight and management of unemployment benefits in these states.
DOGE reported that California, alone representing 68% of the payments, also funneled unemployment benefits to parolees flagged by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as being on terrorist watchlists or having criminal backgrounds. This adds another layer of concern regarding who is receiving taxpayer-funded assistance.
White House spokesman Harrison Fields pointed to these findings as indicative of the governance failures that are prompting Americans to flee Democratic Strongholds for Republican-led states like Florida and Texas. He stated, "There’s a reason for the mass exodus from Democrat-run states that have mismanaged their economies and driven residents to the nearest Republican-led state."
The audit underscores the need for continued efforts to eliminate waste and fraud, an initiative that aligns with President Donald Trump's policies aimed at restoring fiscal responsibility and protecting taxpayers.
In a broader context, this revelation stands in stark contrast to the fiscal stewardship being demonstrated in Republican-controlled areas. These findings should raise alarm bells among constituents who are concerned about their government’s handling of taxpayer dollars.
By focusing on reform and accountability, the Trump administration remains dedicated to ensuring that taxpayer money is spent wisely, reinforcing the importance of transparent governance across all levels of government.
