Are there significant overcharging errors made by the states?

0

In a recent GAO (Government Accounting Office) study, it was shown that nationwide nearly $1 out of $10 dollars in unemployment benefits are improper payments. Studies show that some states are making overcharging errors at a rate of 15-20%. Employers should be concerned that these errors are being accidentally charged against their state unemployment accounts. By not having the correct controls in place, an employer is most likely being assessed thousands of dollars in unwarranted unemployment claims, which directly increases that employer’s state unemployment costs.
