D.C. says more than 300 city workers involved in unemployment scandal | WashingtonExaminer.com: The District said Monday that hundreds of city workers took nearly $2 million in fraudulent unemployment benefits, a scandal that roiled the D.C. government earlier this year and prompted widespread firings and criminal charges.
Lisa Mallory, the director of the D.C. Department of Employment Services, told the D.C. Council that her agency had detected $1.9 million in overpayments to District workers who collected unemployment benefits while on the city's payroll.
"This probe continues to be ongoing," said Mallory, who has credited access to a specialized database for the initial detection of the fraud.
