This update was followed by remarks from Kelly Hart (Administrator, Employer Engagement Administration, Arizona Department of Economic Security) and Rebecca McGinnis (Lead System Administrator, Washington State Employment Security Department) about how their states detect and protect their systems from fraudulent activity. This meeting concluded with a state roundtable session where members shared strategies and best practices for preventing and mitigating WIOA-related fraud.
