NEW YORK STATE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE - FRAUD

The DOL is clear in this issue. As stated on their website FAQ:

" Q: What should I do when I return to work?
A: When you get a job, claim credit for the last days you were out of work in the usual way, by:

• Telephone
• Mail or
• Online

then simply stop claiming your weekly benefits.

Do not claim benefits for any week when you work more than three days or earn more than the maximum benefit rate. The maximum benefit rate is currently $405."

Perhaps you have read about the Nassau County individual who pleaded not guilty Tuesday to felony charges alleging that he stole more than $18,000 in unemployment benefits from March 2010 to December 2010, while still collecting a salary of more than $90,000 annually.
