How Insurance Auditors Are Finally Catching Up to Staffing Fraud (But Is It Enough?), Darling 🐷💼

Oh sweetie, pour yourself something strong, Miss Piggy has some rare good news… with a side of sass. Insurance auditors are finally tightening their pearls and sniffing out staffing fraud with the precision of a bloodhound in stilettos. Yes, darling, they’re checking the books, reviewing the payrolls, and asking the questions that should’ve been asked five scandals ago.

Gone are the days when a fake Certificate of Insurance and a smile got you past underwriting. Now? Auditors are showing up with calculators, spreadsheets, and absolutely no patience for piggybacking nonsense. They’re digging into EINs, flagging “clerical only” job codes used for warehouse workers, and calling out shell companies faster than a diva in a spotlight.

But, and it’s a big but, is it enough? Because while some of these fraudsters are being dragged into the daylight, others are two steps ahead, already opening new LLCs and rebranding their scams in fresh fonts. For every policy canceled, there’s another shady broker ready to help them find a new one, quietly, of course.

And let’s be honest, darling, auditors can’t catch what they don’t see. If a business doesn’t report the full payroll, or if claims are paid under the table, even the sharpest audit can miss the rot.

So yes, progress is being made. The net is tightening. But it’s still up to fabulous, no-nonsense business owners like you to stay alert. Verify your staffing partners. Confirm policies with the carrier. Question the “too good to be legal” rates. Because while the auditors are catching up, you can’t afford to fall behind.

Piggybacking, A Fraudulent Tail (and Tale) in Workers' Comp 🐷💼

Oh, darlings, do pull up a chair because Miss Piggy has a scandal to unravel that’s juicier than a gossip column and dirtier than a pigsty. It’s the sordid tale of piggybacking, a fraudulent scheme in workers’ compensation that’s turning the staffing industry into a circus of greed and deceit. And let me tell you, the stars of this show aren’t just shady; they’re downright villainous. Now, for the uninitiated, piggybacking isn’t some cute term for teamwork. No, no, it’s when a staffing agency skips out on buying its own workers' comp insurance and instead borrows another company’s policy like a bad houseguest who never leaves. These fraudsters, the so called Piggybackers, parade their fake certificates of insurance (oh, the audacity! 🐽) while unsuspecting workers and businesses are left footing the bill when things go south. Take Mike Ersling, for instance, a name that deserves its own place in the fraud hall of fame. This porky perpetrator shoved $300 million of payroll ...
