Kansas remains a top state for unemployment fraud despite officials seeking solutions Morning Sun PITTSBURG, Kan. It is no secret that the Kansas Department of Labor has had a challenging year amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with former Labor Secretary Delia Garcia resigning last June and the department having been led by a series of actingsecretaries since then. One major issue the KDOL has been dealing with is rampant unemployment insurance fraud.  “Fraud is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. It’s stealing from taxpayers at the worst possible time and all attempts at fraud will be referred in the strongest possible manner to law enforcement,” Gov. Laura Kelly said in February. “All 50 states have been overrun with coordinated, sophisticated criminal fraud attempts, and that’s why I wrote a letter with fellow Governors, calling on Congress to provide funding to secure and modernize our systems.”
