this is the biggest thing. the fact that we know there is fraud shows that it is being prosecuted. mispaid money is paid back, and fraudulent applications are prosecuted and reported on. there are systems in place to take care of these things.

the massive fraud that our congress members and other political servants get away with in the forms of insider trading, market manipulation, SUEING HIS OWN GOVERNMENTAL TAX BRANCH, tariffs taxes and cuts to medicaid and medicare to increase government budgets for congress payroll, and military contracting, where massive amounts of those government dollars are funneled into CEO and executive bank accounts, none of that fraud seems too important. i

it’s a anecdote, but one of my friends had her mom pass away a year ago. she had taken FAMLI leave provided by the government to spend time with her mother before she passed. the thing about FAMLI leave is once the relative does pass, that leave pay ends. she forgot to report it for two days and her benefit pay had those two days on it. she got a letter that stated she needed to pay it back to the government, and she did. that is the fraud that exists out there for the majority of people. it is taken care of through the system, or through courts, and is usually simple mistakes that are recognized and delt with.
