Gov. Beshear said action has already been taken against those employees. That is dereliction of duty. That s taking advantage of your position and that s why I ve ordered our Inspector General, long before anything else to look at it. We published that report. We took action, he said.

A new report by Kentucky Auditor Mike Harmon said employees within the Office of Unemployment Insurance were able to access and view their own jobless claims and those findings have been turned over to the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office.
Harmon issued an adverse opinion on Kentucky’s compliance with federal unemployment insurance program requirements. An adverse opinion is the worst opinion that can be issued for an audit.
The latest report listed 21 findings, with eight findings dealing with the unemployment insurance system. There were five findings dealing with the unemployment office released in February.
One of the new findings deals with employees within the unemployment office accessing their own UI claims, despite receiving training not to do so.
