DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment has reported an increase in fraudulent unemployment claims during the coronavirus pandemic as the department attempts to assist people who are struggling. An investigative department for the KUSA-TV has found the state has filed more fraudulent claims filed by scammers than legitimate claims filed by residents, the station reported. The state agency said 1.1 million fraudulent claims and 1,043,760 legit claims have been filed since the pandemic began in March. “We have to walk a tightrope from the demand and mission to get out these benefits quickly as possible to people who are experiencing financial hardship,” department Executive Director Joseph Barela said. The state said it paid out more than $6.5 million to scammers over the last year.

But no fraud in the elections.
“Work or smoke dope?”
“Work or smoke dope?”
“Work or smoke dope?”
Hmmmm...
6.5 million paid to scammers. So what now?! Any prosecutions? Identified as scammers now, yet paid out back then?! Cart before horse. Horse before cart. How do they know anything? Who is in charge? Governor Polis? Mic fly. Mac Fly?
A ping for Colorado!
All prison inmates are basically unemployed.
For those of you that don’t understand why this was a horrible decision-
There is no way to argue
You’re just as bad as the libtards that rally around their ha is when they make insane policy.
Maybe not you- BUT I AND MY FAMILY DESERVE ELECTED LEADERS WHO UNDERSTAND RIGHT FROM WRONG AND NOT DESERTING YOUR POST!
Steal 30 billion from the state of California with unemployment fraud?
No problem.
Heaven forbid that anyone would steal an "election" that controls hundreds of times that amount...
How much of these ‘stolen’ monies went to fund election fraud coverup. With the RATS it’s always some scam to get someone else’s money to pay for their schemes.
The time to get a piece is when they pass the pie.
It’s a Democrat run and ruined state, a gateway route for illegal aliens, and has a fruitcake as governor. What else did you expect?
Not surprising in the least.
LOL, I don’t think they count.
Quick story: Your sector dries up and you’re let go from your job. You are unemployed. You can get unemployment checks for 26 weeks. (varies by state?) You still haven’t found a job in your sector after the 26 weeks. You are now not unemployed, you’re no longer in the labor force. Unemployment and labor force participation rates go down.
It’s just all of the fake democrat voters (dead, illegal) that want get paid, no problem the queer governor will fix it.
