The DC Department of Employment Services participates in a nationwide quality control program implemented by the US Department of Labor called the Benefit Accuracy Measurement (BAM). The program is designed to prevent both error and fraud in the Unemployment Insurance program by testing the accuracy of paid and denied claims. Investigation activities are designed to assess the validity of monetary determinations and the proper detection and resolution of eligibility issues.
