Director of Michigan's Unemployment Agency resigns over invalid fraud cases

 

The director of Michigan's Unemployment Insurance Agency is no longer in that position.

 

Sharon Moffett-Massey has resigned after it was discovered that her agency wrongly accused at least 20,000 Michiganders of fraud.

 

The computer system used by the agency had an error rate of 93% in auto-adjudicated cases between October 2013 and August 2015.

 

Of the 22,000 cases reviewed, fraud determinations were upheld in just over 1,400 cases.
