Unemployment Insurance - Fraud Prevention - Massachusetts

Employers deposit funds into the UI Trust Fund to pay for employees’ benefits. Numerous actions are taken by the Division of Employment and Training (DET) to prevent the fraudulent collection of benefits.

A comparison or "cross-match" program compares wage records from the Massachusetts Department of Revenue and the UI database to ensure that claimants who work part-time while collecting unemployment insurance benefits report those earnings to DET.

The Department of Revenue also provides DET with a report of new workers added to employers’ payrolls. This report is also matched against UI records to check that claimants who return to work do not continue to collect benefits.

To prevent fraud, DET also matches records with those of other state and federal agencies, including the Social Security Administration, the state Department of Corrections, and others.

The DET Fraud Hotline can be reached toll-free at 1-800-354-9927 to report claimants who are collecting benefits while working full-time and to report employers who are paying workers and not reporting wages.
