What is the name of your state? New Jersey

How do you report unemployment fraud?
Someone I know is and has also in the past collected unemployment and also received a paycheck at the same time. He is receiving an actual paycheck (not cash)
This is not the first time he has done this and gotten away with it.

What are the consequences if he gets caught?

You may contact your local UC office or your State's main UC office and report the fraud.

As to consequences, at a minimum the individual will have to pay back the monies they received. I expect each State's reg's also allow for criminal prosecution as well.
