A. Workers’ Compensation fraud is a third degree felony that can result in fines, civil liability, and jail time. Rewards of up to $25,000 may be paid to individuals who provide information that lead to the arrest and conviction of persons committing insurance fraud such as faking an injury, deliberately exaggerating the severity of an injury to extend benefits and/or filing a worker compensation claim for a non-work related injury. To report suspected workers’ compensation fraud, call: 1.800.378.0445.
