Background Information:
The Tehama County District Attorney's Office (DA) continues to receive grant funds from the State of California and works cooperatively with the California Department of Insurance to investigate and prosecute Workers' Compensation Fraud in Tehama County. The DA has participated in this program since Fiscal Year 2008-2009. The DA investigates Workers' Compensation fraud cases independently from the state and jointly with the Department of Insurance Fraud Bureau. The DA also works jointly with several other state agencies (Department of Labor, California State Contractors Board). If the grant application is not approved, one Investigator position would be lost.
