KABA 2022000015 - Unemployment Insurance Fraud Prevention and Management

The purpose of the ITN is to seek proposals from qualified vendors to provide integratable software to address three concerns within the Division of Unemployment Insurance (UI). Specifically, due to unprecedented increases in fraud related to the passage of the additional federal Unemployment Insurance benefits within the CARES Act, the Division is seeking a long term software solution to detect, analyze, and manage fraudulent activity.  Additionally, the Division is also required to recoup overpayment monies improperly paid to UI claimants. As part of these efforts, the Division intercepts state and federal tax refund monies to offset any existing overpayment in the UI system.  The Division is seeking an integrative technology that allows for seamless and rapid  intercepts of Lottery, gaming winnings and State/Federal tax refund money. Most  exist within the UI benefits software system which would also ensure greater accuracy of the amounts recouped.
