The formerly great state of California has managed to
claw back about $1.1 billion in the massive fraudulent expenditures for
Covid relief programs.
This money was recovered from about 780,000 dormant benefit cards.
Most
of these fraudulent claims were paid out by the EDD via the Pandemic
Assistance Program. It is generally estimated the state paid out about
$20 billion in bogus claims. There have been almost 500 arrests and
over 150 convictions related to this program.
