Bill > SB6127

This bill requires the state auditor to conduct a performance audit of the program integrity measures within Washington's paid family and medical leave program, which provides benefits to workers for various leave reasons. The audit will evaluate how effectively the program has implemented measures to prevent fraud, detect misuse, verify eligibility, and recover improperly paid benefits, and will also assess if these measures are the most effective and efficient available. Furthermore, the audit will make recommendations for improvements to these integrity measures, benefit recovery processes, and how information is communicated to employers and employees to ensure claim validity. The state auditor will submit progress reports and the final audit results to the legislature, and this requirement will expire on December 31, 2027.
