After more than $11 billion in confirmed fraud, with the possibility of $20 million more, Su told reporters, “There is no sugar coating the reality, California did not have sufficient security measures in place to prevent this level of fraud.” Su did not explain her own responsibility for the failure, which came on a massive scale.
The state approved more than $140 million for at least 20,000 prisoners. Convicts who made fraudulent claims included convicted murderers Scott Peterson and Cary Stayner. Death-row inmates – murderers, rapists, and child molesters among them – accounted for at least 158 claims landing more than $420,000 in benefits.In some cases inmates used their real names while others used fake names and fake Social Security numbers. One inmate filed a claim under the name “poopy britches.
In addition to her mismanagement of EDD, Su served as California labor secretary and supported Assembly Bill 5, a frontal assault on independent workers that cost many Californians their jobs. The Biden administration overlooked these failures and made Julie Su deputy secretary of labor. Her nomination for the top job invites reflection on the administration’s record.
