Overview

TWC administers unemployment benefits to workers who become unemployed through no fault of their own and are actively seeking work. Prevention, detection and elimination of fraud, waste and abuse of the unemployment insurance program are top priorities, ensuring that funds are available exclusively to those who meet the eligibility requirements. We regularly cross match benefit claims with employer wage reports and other databases to detect possible fraud. When fraud is detected, we work with local and federal agencies and district attorney offices to prosecute those who try to cheat the system.

On 2/16/2012, Tamika F. Grant AKA Tamika Scales, 36, was convicted of Theft of Government Property (18 U.S.C. § 641) by the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (Judge Jane Boyle) and sentenced to two years probation. Scales was ordered to make $5,116 restitution and to pay a $200 assessment. The case originated as a tip to TWC from the Carswell Federal Prison in Fort Worth. While Scales was incarcerated at the prison on mail fraud charges, she was caught by prison officials making an outside call and providing her identification to someone so that someone could file an Unemployment Insurance claim on her behalf. The case was initially investigated by TWC's Benefit Investigations Unit, and TWC's Fraud Prosecutions Unit made the referral to the United States Department of Labor’s Office of Inspector General.
