Last week, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted revealed that more than half of the 1.4 million Pandemic Unemployment Assistance benefits claims made in Ohio to date have been flagged as potentially fraudulent.

It’s still unclear how many of those flagged PUA claims involved actual cases of fraud, though Betti said Monday that confirmed fraudulent cases involve “hundreds of millions of dollars.”

More than 50% fraudulent? That sounds more like a system failure than actual fraud.

That’s just it. This maze of of trying to find someone to help you.

I recall at the time wait times on hold could be hours.

My claims got caught up in the overpayment nightmare. I have file for a hearing, been waiting since December. I am part of the 20% that benefits were miscalculated. Couple that with the $600 per wk, $300 per wk bumps from the Federal, it wasn’t easy to catch as the recipient.

I have requested the hearing, trying to figure out how to apply for a waiver...and you cannot get any meaningful answers.

Persistence. And if I ever find the bas**** that used my name to file the fraudulent claim, ... Well, I wouldn’t want to be him.
