The Honorable, The Legislature:
The purpose of this letter is to report to the governor and Legislature regarding allegations of worker's compensation fraud reported to the Department of Workforce Development.
1993 Wisconsin Act 81 created s.
102.125, Wis. Stats. By law, the Department records allegations of worker's compensation fraud, and if there is a reasonable basis to believe that a violation of s.
943.395, Stats., (insurance fraud) has occurred, it refers the case for prosecution by the district attorney for the county in which the violation occurred. The Department also reports annually to the Governor and Legislature regarding the number of allegations and referrals, and the results of the referrals.
This report summarizes the 6-year history of the program. As described in the report, the successful prosecution of fraud requires a close working relationship among insurance carriers, prosecutors, the employer community and the Department.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Reinert
Secretary
State of Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources
October 31, 2000
The Honorable, The Senate:

299.80(16), Wisconsin State Statutes, I am submitting to you a copy of the Environmental Cooperation Pilot Program 2000 Progress Report. I am also providing a copy of the Report to the Governor and to the Honorable Chief Clerk of the Assembly, Charlie Sanders.
Sincerely,
