Unemployment Compensation Fraud

Did you get a letter from the Agency for Workforce Innovation saying you committed fraud?

As they notified you in the letter, it is a third-degree felony (punishable by up to 5 years in prison, by the way) to make a "false statement or representation, knowing it to be false, or knowingly fail to disclose a material fact to obtain or increase any benefits..." per Florida Statute 443.071.
