North Carolina audits found that unemployment payments were routinely delayed and $47 million was stolen through fraud. The failures left jobless workers without paychecks when they needed them most.
Delay is a silent form of harm. If you're unemployed and your check arrives three weeks late, you can't pay rent on time. Fraud that's not caught costs the fund money that could've gone to actual claimants. The audit revealed both incompetence and theft operating in the same system—one slow, one criminal. Either way, the person without a job suffers.
