The administration said that Dog had completed all UI unemployment insurance grants (UI), which totaling about $ 400 million of savings, which it said was dealing with the unemployment system that was in the “infrastructure crisis full of fraud, waste and abuse.”

Some discounts of trillion dollars signed by his laws by then President Joe Biden in 2021 included the establishment of an “office from unemployed workers’ lawyer” and the financing of “Adel’s access manager”.

Other discounts included initiatives to “conduct a business analysis for fairness”, develop a “stock analysis” information panel, and study “property rights for the unemployment system”, “DEIA Evaluation” and stock monitoring employees.

“This is another incredible discovery by the Doug team, as it found approximately $ 400 million of fraudulent unemployment payments,” Labor Minister Lauri Chavez-Tremer said in April. “The Ministry of Labor is obligated to recover the stolen tax dollars of the Americans. We will arrest these thieves and continue to work to eradicate terrible fraud – accountability here.”
