Is Louisiana Unemployment fraud?

• Employer Contributions: Employers in Louisiana are required to pay unemployment insurance taxes to the Louisiana Workforce Commission, which can be reflected as charges related to business operations.
• Overpayments: Individuals who have received unemployment benefits may see charges if they were overpaid and the commission is recouping those funds.
• Service Fees: Some users have mentioned charges appearing for background checks or other employment-related services facilitated through the commission's platform.
• Subscription Services: Resources for job seekers, such as resume assistance or workshops, may have associated fees that users might mistake for unauthorized charges.
• Online Account Fees: Users have reported charges related to maintaining or accessing their online accounts for unemployment services.
• Payments for Claims Processing: In certain instances, individuals noted charges linked to the processing of their unemployment claims, including specific administrative fees.
• Third-party Vendors: Some customers observed charges from vendors that provided services advertised through the LWC, without clear distinction from the commission's standard offerings.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the laworks.net via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the laworks.net refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with laworks.net, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.
