The Integrity Data Hub is a platform of the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA) that is a "unique, secure, multistate data system with advanced data cross-matching and analysis capability that detects and prevents UI fraud and improper payments," according to the NASWA website.

Background

See also: Unemployment insurance

NASWA's Unemployment Insurance (UI) Integrity Center launched the Integrity Data Hub to provide states with cross-matching verification options for identifying potential unemployment insurance fraud, according to the NASWA website. NASWA stated that the Integrity Data Hub had helped prevent $3.5 billion of unemployment insurance fraud as of September 2023.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) encourages states to use various identity verification, data mining, and data analytics resources when unemployment insurance claims are filed. The DOL also encourages ongoing data mining and analytics for the duration of unemployment insurance claims. In an August 31, 2020, letter, the DOL stated that ongoing verification could help identify events like claimants refusing a job offer, failing to meet job search requirements, or continuing to claim unemployment benefits after starting new employment. States that do not conduct initial and ongoing fraud detection activities through, for example, the National Association of State Workforce Agencies' Integrity Data Hub may not comply with federal unemployment insurance verification requirements.

Integrity Data Hub fraud identification tools

The National Association of State Workforce Agencies' (NASWA) Integrity Data Hub provides state agencies that administer unemployment insurance programs with the following tools to facilitate fraud identification:

• The Suspicious Actor Repository (SAR), which allows states to compare UI claims against a list of suspicious claims from other states.
• A database of suspicious email domains.
• A database of foreign IP addresses.
• A database of incarcerated persons.
• Data analysis tools that allow states to compare claims to national data and conduct cross-state validation checks.
• A multi-state database of UI claims data.
• A centralized identity verification service.
• The Fraud Alert System (FAS), which allows states to share information about new fraud schemes.
