California officials said that over 20 people have been arrested in connection with a pandemic unemployment insurance scheme run out of a San Mateo prison that scammed more than $250,000 worth of fraudulent claims.
The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release Aug. 15 that investigators traced 16 bogus unemployment claims to a “large-scale Pandemic Unemployment Assistance fraud ring” that was run out of San Mateo County’s Maguire Correctional Facility.
