Every EMPLOYEE is covered by workers' compensation insurance. In the event that your employee has a work related injury the employer must call the Worker’s Compensation Injury Hotline at 1-800-750-3534. Employers must advise the agent answering the phone that they are part of the State of Vermont Consumer Directed Medicaid program. If you have questions about workers' compensation coverage, or about submitting a claim, contact the payroll agent. 15. Taxes Payments made to every EMPLOYEE are treated as earned income, and are taxed as earned income. The payroll agent processes payroll taxes, withholds taxes from wages and prepares annual W-2 tax withholding statements. 16. Problems with the Payroll EMPLOYERS and EMPLOYEES should first attempt to resolve payroll problems by directly contacting the payroll agent. If problems cannot be solved, the EMPLOYER or EMPLOYEE may contact the case manager for assistance. Finally, if problems are still not solved with the help of the case manager, contact DAIL at (802) 871-3069. 17. Medicaid Fraud Medicaid is committed when an EMPLOYER or EMPLOYEE is untruthful regarding Choices for Care (CFC) services provided, in order to obtain improper payment. The Medicaid Fraud and Residential Abuse Unit of the Vermont Attorney General's Office investigates and prosecutes people who commit fraud against the CFC program. Medicaid fraud is a felony and conviction can lead to substantial penalties (including but not limited to, imprisonment up to ten years, or a fine up to $1,000 or an amount equal to twice the amount of the assistance or benefits wrongfully obtained, or both). Additionally, individuals convicted of Medicaid fraud will be excluded for a minimum of five years from any employment with a program or facility receiving Medicaid funding. Examples of Medicaid fraud include: Submitting timesheets for services not actually provided (e.g. signing or submitting a timesheet for services which were not actually provided) Submitting timesheets for services provided by a different person (e.g. signing or submitting a timesheet for services provided by a different person)
