Oklahoma Code § 40-2-402

FRAUD.
A.  If the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission determines
that any individual has made a false statement or representation or
has failed to disclose a material fact in violation of Section 5-102
of this title, the individual shall be ineligible to receive
unemployment compensation for the week that determination is made by
the Commission and for the next following fifty-one (51) weeks, and
no benefit year shall be established during such period of
ineligibility.  After a determination has been made that an
individual has violated Section 5-102 of this title in a particular
benefit year, if the Commission determines that another violation of
that section has occurred in any subsequent benefit year, the
individual shall be ineligible to receive unemployment compensation
for the week in which the subsequent determination is made by the
Commission and for the next following one hundred three (103) weeks,

and no benefit year shall be established during such period of
ineligibility.
B.  If the Commission makes a determination as described in
subsection A of this section, the individual shall be disqualified
for each week benefits were paid as a result of a false statement or
representation or a failure to disclose a material fact, and the
individual shall be deemed overpaid for the entire amount of
benefits paid as a result of claimant fraud.
C.  The ineligibility and disqualification set forth in
subsections A and B of this section are in addition to the penalty
provided by Section 5-102 of this title, and shall be invoked
irrespective of whether such individual is prosecuted for violation
of Section 5-102 of this title, when the Commission makes such a
determination of ineligibility or disqualification.
D.  A determination of fraud must be made within two (2) years
of the date on which the violation occurred.
