Recently, there have been several convictions of workers' compensation fraud due to failing to report income/work while receiving benefits. All three of the cases listed below, provided by the BWC media page, note that the investigation into the fraud was instigated base on a tip.
After reading the articles, a person can't help but wonder whether their is a more proactive way of investigating fraud. Here, the perpetrators were defrauding the system by receiving benefits while working in an unqualified position. One of the cases involved someone working within the state, yet no one within the Bureau was aware until a tip was received.
Is there a more efficient way to protect the system?
