> On Monday morning, we interviewed Haywood Talcove, the CEO of Lexis Nexis Risk Solutions, Government Division. He had checked the "dark web" for examples of fraud against EDD. He opened a laptop, pulled up a video file and hit play. The video showed a computer screen with an EDD login page along with a phone dialed to EDD's customer line.

This is the same company that was sued for inaccurately reporting judgements on consumer risk reports. Just like ID.me’s CEO’s unemployment fraud exaggerations, this is a marketing piece. That isn’t to say there isn’t fraud, but that a private risk solution isn’t necessary.

If you want to reduce fraud (in this case, identity fraud), improve digital identity systems. There is a White House draft executive order pending release in this regard (Login.gov All The Things).

Cali EDD is a joke. I never received my paid family leave money after my daughter was born last year. Their phone lines are always full, and they don’t respond to email.

(Given the current topic) Perhaps someone else received your money?

The problem is there's no reason for the politicians to care about the fraudulent claims.
