SEATTLE (AP) — Authorities say a former employee with the state Employment Security Department was arrested and charged with defrauding the government of at least $360,000 in jobless benefits.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Seattle said Friday that Reyes De La Cruz of Moses Lake is “alleged to have personally enriched himself by at least $130,000” and to have helped others fraudulently obtain tens of thousands of dollars in benefits.

De La Cruz was arrested in Moses Lake on Friday.
