Double-dipping, Monday-morning injuries, faking, malingering and illegal banking activity are mainstays in workers compensation claimant fraud with no end in sight despite the fact that its now easier to get caught, according to experts.
“We are seeing the same things over and over again,” said Dan Fodor, assistant director with the special investigations department for the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation, which distributes public information on fraudulent claimants in an effort to raise awareness of the crime that often comes with prison time and fines in the tens of thousands of dollars.
