The Delaware Department of Labor, in collaboration with the Office of the Governor, is addressing long-standing financial and operational issues within the state’s Unemployment Insurance program and is committed to immediate reforms. This follows consecutive annual audits, a recent CLA report, and an additional audit from the Delaware Auditor of Accounts, all revealing persistent challenges.
Secretary of Labor Lakresha Moultrie outlined several steps being implemented, including enhancing business operations, ensuring more reliable financial reporting, and preparing for full external audits.
The department also plans to improve internal controls and will provide regular public updates to increase transparency and accountability. Governor Matt Meyer supports the reforms, emphasizing that the administration is focused not only on fixing past issues but also on creating a more accountable future. The reforms are part of a broader effort to regain the public’s trust and ensure that the department is better equipped to serve Delawareans moving forward.
