Fraud Hotline

To report unemployment benefits related issues, please contact the Texas Workforce Commission at 1-800-252-3642. Complaints may also be submitted via email to twc.fraud@twc.state.tx.us.

The State Auditor's Office investigates allegations of illegal acts and improprieties involving any entity that receives funds from the state. The online fraud reporting form is a resource for individuals to report such allegations.

Individuals reporting suspected fraud may request to remain anonymous. However, any information submitted may be released pursuant to a Public Information Act request or court order, including name and contact details. Reports may also be disclosed to another state agency or law enforcement at the SAO’s discretion.

Reporting to the SAO will not trigger Whistleblower Act protections. For information on the Texas Whistleblower Act, please see the Whistleblower Act notice published by the Office of the Attorney General.

The online fraud reporting form is not intended for individuals to request information from the State Auditor’s Office. Please refer to our Public Information Act Requests webpage.
