NYSDOL Multi-Factor Authentication in Attempt to Stop Unemployment Fraud
Written by Site Hub on October 21, 2022
In the state’s attempt to stop unemployment fraud, the New York State Department of Labor is implementing a new feature. Yesterday, NYSDOL announced that it will be using Multi-Factor Authentication, or MFA, throughout New York’s Unemployment Insurance system to provide cyber security protection to New Yorkers.
The way MFA will work is users will get a code sent via text message or as a push notification to verify their identity upon log-in. As of right now, 260,000 New Yorkers are enrolled.
