Respond to Trump Administration Exposes MORE Obama Waste and Fraud 8 theblacksphere reported details of an audit from the Government Accountability Office that shows in 2016 more than $1.6 billion in unemployment insurance benefits was paid to individuals who did not seek work.Unemployment insurance is paid to individuals if they lose employment with the general requirement that they actively search for work. For some states, this active search may require a minimum number of contacts a beneficiary must have with potential employers, submission of job applications, creating a LinkedIn account, going to a networking event, or visiting a job center. The audit was conducted to see whether or not unemployment insurance beneficiaries who did not actively search for work affected the program’s level of improper payments. In fiscal year 2016, the Department of Labor’s unemployment insurance program was the seventh-highest for improper payments among all federal programs. The biggest cause was beneficiaries not meeting work requirements. “According to Department of Labor’s estimates, over $1.6 billion in benefit payments were made to claimants for weeks for which they were issued formal warnings in fiscal year 2016,” the report states. “DOL’s analysis further shows that if formal warning cases had been included in DOL’s calculation of the overpayment rates for fiscal year 2016, the nationwide overpayment rate would have increased by about 5 percentage points, from an estimated 11.1 percent to an estimated 16.3 percent.” In other words, Obama made former workers lazy. what he spent on staff versus President Trump:served Michelle Obama (FY2009).His job was to grow government and in that regard he excelled. With little regard to the people who pay the bills, Obama burdened taxpayers at every turn. And as he and other Leftists put it, “All for the greater good.”.
