It's considered unemployment fraud if you take UI payments and also work. Many people are about to get a rude awakening.
Despite the removal of work search requirements I'm not aware of any state that will allow you to deny a job that pays reasonably close to what you made before if you are collecting assistance.
Payrolls are up but real unemployment and permanent job loss are still sky high. The money printers are still going. QEternity anyone?
Thats not entirely true. I've talked to 5 waitresses that continue to get the $600 a week. As long as your wages are less than $300 a week you qualify for it . Employers due to lack of business at the present time are keeping their empires wages under $300 a week . The fraud going on is incredible . This was free money giving by the gov't . Nobody even questioning it and won't. They wanted money in peoples pockets .
