On March 11, 2025, Aaron Bean expressed concerns over financial misconduct through unemployment insurance programs. In a tweet posted that day, he stated: "$135 BILLION! That’s how much was STOLEN from the American people in unemployment insurance programs."

The following day on March 12, Bean took to Twitter again to address misinformation about his whereabouts and activities. He clarified his position with a post saying: "FACT CHECK: I’m in Washington—RIGHT NOW—working for YOU!" He emphasized his commitment to providing accurate information amidst circulating falsehoods.
