The membership includes representatives from government, industry, employee and employer groups, lobbyists and private citizens. The mission of the task force is to educate consumers regarding fraud and to promote more effective communication and cooperation among carriers, employers, and regulatory agencies. These subcommittees have specific goals and projects on which the members work throughout the year. Workers' compensation fraud is a serious offense and is not a victimless crime. Workers' compensation fraud translates into lower wages, lost jobs, higher premiums and higher prices for products and services.
All consumers ultimately pay the price of fraud in the workers' compensation system.
To report suspected fraud, contact the Bureau's hotline at 800.378.0445.
