Workers’ compensation fraud may be committed by employers, employees, lawyers, insurance company personnel, physicians, medical providers, and other stakeholders in the system. It hurts honest employers and employees by raising rates and taxing the system. Workers’ compensation fraud is a serious offense: fraudulent activity that exceeds $2,000 is a felony.

The most common kinds of fraud are employee and employer frauds. Employee fraud usually entails misrepresenting when, where, or how an injury occurred, faking injuries, symptom exaggeration, malingering, or some combination of those abuses. Employer fraud, also known as premium fraud, involves unreported cash payrolls, misclassification of payroll, bogus subcontractor schemes, or other efforts to conceal or misrepresent payroll, the basis for workers’ compensation premium. Employer fraud may include improper manipulation of the experience rating system.
