Eight YorkU employees investigated, actions taken in response to false insurance benefits claims

Eight York University employees have reportedly been investigated in response to false insurance benefits claims. City News reports that action has been taken against those who committed fraud, with at least one employee no longer working at the university. One instance of fraud reportedly involved a fake orthodontics claim. “The university thoroughly investigates suspected cases and works with the insurer in these matters to seek repayment of claims and refers suspected cases to police,” said a YorkU spokesperson.
