Legally, he cannot work and draw unemployment at the same time. Now, the LOOPHOLE : Should he accidentally draw a couple extra weeks of unemployment ( wink wink ) He will have to pay it back in small portions until it's paid back. It buys you time to get back on your feet. Trust me, It happened to me once. I overdrawed by one month and had to pay back 41.00 per month. I paid it off by opening another claim, letting them take the whole amount out of 2 checks.
Went back to work and it was like nothing ever happened. |

They will find out and ask for the money back. My husband was laid of in April and got a job in June. Then in August, I was laid off and got a job in october, but it's commission only and Unemployement stopped, whether I was actually making money or not! I'm still not making money and it's starting to get to me. I wish I would have lied to them, but it's not worth it. I've seen judgments and liens from EDD when people do this and it's on their credit report. Negative stuff. You don't want that. |

When your husband starts working again, tax notices will start flowing at least to the IRS and SSA. Don't try to cheat the system/your neighbors.
It's hard financially, but don't add fraud charges to your list of woes. |

They WILL find out and when they do they will garnish his wages for the amount he was paid while working. |

It's double dipping and they will find out and make you pay it back. It can also affect his benefits in the future. If he is caught, and they always catch you even if it takes awhile to do it....they can deny him unemployment benefits in the future for the fraudulent use of the system. I just wouldn't do it. It's not worth it. |

receiving benefits while employed is fraud. At best you will be held responsible for repaying those received funds. At worst you can be criminally charged.
There is a very good chance he will be caught as the company will register his SSN (from time of hire) in order to deduct income tax. |

They will find out that you are ILLEGALLY receiving benefits to which you are NOT ENTITLED due to being employed.
Being behind on everything is no excuse for theft, which is what you'd be doing if you fraudulently retained the benefits. |

you have to report to them that he is back at his old job. they WILL find out and request any amount overpaid. |

you can keep gettin help...but don't do it for very long. If they find out, they will get you. What he should do, is find a job that pays him cash and still get the help. Just an idea, don't have to do it LOL! |

Don't do it, they will find out eventually! |

if they did find out, you will be more behind than you can ever imagine.
also i hope you will save for an emergency fund this time. When money is good put some away. |

It would be nice to keep getting benefits, but you do not want to play around when it comes to government money. So, you need to inform the unemployment office that your husband is employed and ask what the procedure is. In fact, you should search around on the website before you talk to a live person. Sometimes people give answers based on what kind of day they are having. |

You shouldn't try to collect unemployment when he has a job. That's not what it's for. I'm sorry that you are feeling the pressure of debt. I hope you and your family will have a great future. |

They might not find out right away though as soon as his SS goes into the payroll computer it should come up. If it doesn't and you continue to get benefits, when they do find out you will be required to pay back all money given from the time he went back to work to the time they found out about it and it could effect his ability to draw unemployment in the future. |

You are required to report any job change with the EDD when a change occurs. If you continue to receive benefits after he begins working then you are in violation of that and they can and will come after you for the over payment. best to be honest. |

You have to report it. Otherwise if he is making too much you will have to pay back what was over paid to him. If he is only working so many hrs than they may be reduced. You can work so much and still recieve benefits. if he is working 40hrs a week then no he will not recieve benefits. |

he MUST returned those checks! You will be fined and have to pay a lot more when they catch you and believe me they will!
why risk going to jail |

Your question is very strange. You say that he was unemployed, but he got his job back, but then you ask whether he'll be working there again! Which is it???
Regardless, all "Edd" has to do is call or go to the Unemployment Office, and tell them what his employment status is (he's supposed to do that on a regular basis, anyway, at least until his unemployment benefits run out). |
|
fairly smart

The problem is, if he gets caught, he will have to pay it back anyway & I don't know if they wil levy fines on top of that or not. The best way, even if it is hard for you, is to be honest & stop the unemplyment as soon as he goes back. |

Ask yourself one question. What is the right thing to do?
What you owe is not relevant. If you get caught playing the system you will eventually PAY the system. |

This sounds like a legal question. You'll prob have to ask the EDD on when benefits run out. Sometimes they may overlap. It is possible that they can ask for the money back. If the EED feels that he was not legally entitled to the funds, he could also be fined. Since we're only talking a month, I'd ask. |

you need to report it. if you keep receiving benefits it is considered fraud. so you can get all pissy but its a fact, he is stealing. |
|

Yes, but you can't catch up by stealing from the taxpayers! Yes, it is likely that either EDD or the IRS will figure out that there was an overlap in the dates payments were made, and your husband could be imprisoned on fraud charges. Don't try it. |

How can that not be stealing? It's theft by deception and fraud. Unemployment benefits are for the unemployed. He is now employed therefore....tada.....he is no longer entitled to benefits because it is UNemployment.
If found out you can be arrested for fraud and theft by deception. You can go to jail, you can be fined, and you can (and will) be required to pay back all the money.
It is not "his money" it is the governments money. |

They will find out and he'll get the check but he'll have it deducted at the end of the year. Getting a job yourself would not hurt either |
