WASHINGTON, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Fraudsters likely stole $45.6
billion from the United States' unemployment insurance program
during the COVID-19 pandemic by applying tactics like using
Social Security numbers of deceased individuals, a federal
watchdog said on Thursday.

About a year ago, nearly $16 billion in potential fraud had been
identified. The report issued Thursday by the inspector general
for the U.S. Labor Department identified "an increase of $29.6
billion in potentially fraudulent payments."

The scammers had allegedly filed billions of dollars in
unemployment claims in many states simultaneously while some of
them got benefits using the identities of dead people and
prisoners who were not eligible for aid. They also relied on
suspicious emails that were hard to trace, the watchdog said in
its report.

"We determined 205,766 Social Security numbers of deceased
persons were used to file claims for UI (unemployment insurance)
pandemic benefits," the report added.

The United States' jobless aid program started in 2020 in the
early days of the coronavirus outbreak.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Justice Department tapped federal
prosecutor Kevin Chambers to lead the department's efforts to
help investigate fraudsters who used the pandemic as an excuse
to bilk government assistance programs. read more

In May 2021, Attorney General Merrick Garland launched a COVID-
19 Fraud Enforcement Task Force. The United States is probing
many fraud cases pegged to U.S. government assistance programs,
such as the Paycheck Protection Program, unemployment insurance
and Medicare.

Earlier this week, federal prosecutors charged 47 defendants,
who were accused of stealing $250 million from a government aid
program that was supposed to feed children in need during the
pandemic.

A Minnesota non-profit organization, Feeding Our Future, was
accused of orchestrating the plot. Its founder, Aimee Bock,
denied wrongdoing.

In March, the Justice Department said it had brought over 1,000
cases of crimes involving jobless benefits during the pandemic.
