Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Committee on Judiciary, presented by Amber Shultz, Secretary of Labor, Kansas Department of Labor.
This same testimony was presented before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Judiciary, by Amber Shultz, Secretary of Labor, Kansas Department of Labor, on March 10, 2025.Testimony in support of SB 30. "The Kansas Department of Labor would like to continue participating in the Treasury Offset Program ("TOP"). ... TOP allows certain federal payments owed to an individual to be intercepted by state workforce agencies, such as ours, when the individual involved has been adjudicated to have engaged in unemployment insurance fraud and has improperly received payment as a means to recoup the fraudulently obtained funds. ... The IRS requires that any employee with access to the Federal Tax Information ("FTI") it provides to agencies participating in TOP to have passed a federal background check. ... The FBI requires that Kansas have in its law a statute which, among other things, mandates the fingerprinting of applicants who are to be subjected to a national criminal history background check, expressly or by implication authorizes the use of FBI records for the screening of applicants, and identifies the specific category or categories of employees falling within its purview. SB 30 would fulfill those requirements and allow the Kansas Department of Labor to utilize this important tool to combat unemployment insurance fraud by recovering fraudulently obtained benefits.
