H.R.7847

Stop Unemployment Fraud Act aims to prevent unemployment fraud by requiring identity verification and data matching for unemployment compensation.

The Stop Unemployment Fraud Act mandates identity verification procedures for unemployment compensation claimants, including the use of government-issued IDs and supporting documents. It requires states to cross-match claimant information with databases to detect fraud. The Act prohibits self-attestation as a sole eligibility proof and mandates work search verification. It also allows states to deposit a portion of recovered overpayments into a state fund for program administration. The Act includes provisions for monitoring state compliance and withholding funds for non-compliance.
