Inmates in California's jails and prisons have stolen upwards of $1 billion in pandemic unemployment aid, four DAs and a federal prosecutor announced todayhttps://t.co/QdhOMYQvES
Thousands of inmates throughout California — including death row inmates — may have bilked the state's unemployment benefits system of up to a billion dollars in what prosecutors called "the largest ever taxpayer fraud to occur in this state's history" https://t.co/EGBCoN9mYa
Scott Peterson, convicted of killing his wife and unborn son, received California unemployment benefits in recent months.
I have constituents who STILL haven’t received the unemployment benefits they’re entitled to and now we learn death row inmates are getting benefits? Everyone top level administrator in EDD should be fired immediately. https://t.co/5xjWlBIvWe

35 states cross match the names of those making unemployment claims against state prison rolls.
California does no cross matching at all.
And our Governor refuses to even answer questions about it. https://t.co/fCwd5sGfjo
