The Workers' Compensation Fraud Control Unit is a specialized unit located in the Office of the Chief State's Attorney. The goals of the unit are two-fold: the investigation and prosecution of Workers' Compensation fraud cases and public awareness.
The investigation and potential arrest and prosecution of an individual or business may include a claimant receiving Workers’ Compensation benefits, healthcare providers, and businesses. Any number of applicable offenses may be charged for fraudulent activities including fraudulent claim or receipt of benefits, insurance fraud, larceny, theft of government services, false statement and perjury.
More information about Workers’ Compensation fraud may be found here.The Workers' Compensation Fraud Control Unit has jurisdiction over fraud that occurs anywhere within the State of Connecticut. However, claimants, healthcare providers and businesses need not be in the state for the issuance of an arrest warrant.
If you suspect Workers' Compensation fraud, information may be provided anonymously via email or by telephone to the Workers' Compensation Fraud Control Unit by submitting a complaint form. Provide detailed information, including the name of the suspect or business and the nature of the fraudulent activity, and when it occurred. All available supporting documentation should be provided for further investigation.
We do not offer rewards for information related to Workers’ Compensation fraud. It also should be noted that we do not serve as a conduit for extortion. Those who threaten criminal prosecution unless a claimant reduces or withdraws a claim for Workers' Compensation benefits may be subject to criminal prosecution.
