The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is forecasting a cooperative agreement opportunity for the continued operations of the Unemployment Insurance (UI) Integrity Center of Excellence, to be awarded to the Center for Employment Security Education and Research (CESER). The primary objective of this agreement is to enhance UI program integrity through training, technical assistance, and the development of innovative tools to prevent improper payments and fraud. This initiative is crucial for improving the effectiveness of state unemployment insurance programs, as it aims to disseminate resources and provide rapid alerts on emerging fraud schemes. The total funding available for this opportunity is $9 million, with an estimated synopsis close date of September 26, 2024.
