About this opportunity

The purpose of the PG Program is to provide funding to district attorneys for the investigation and prosecution of Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) and Unemployment Insurance (UI) fraud crimes, which spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic emergencies. District attorneys are encouraged to work with county and/or municipal law enforcement agencies on investigatory work related to PUA/UI fraud crimes, and then successfully prosecute these cases. PUA/UI fraud crimes are violations of Cal. Unemp. Ins. Code §§ 2101 and 2114; Cal. Penal Code §§487, 496, and 530.5; or any fraud offenses relating to COVID-19 pandemic-related insurance programs administered by the California Employment Development Department (EDD), or the U.S. Department of Labor.
