Are You Committing Unemployment Insurance Fraud By Accident?

Are you collecting unemployment right now? Could there be a chance you are committing insurance fraud?

Unemployment insurance fraud happens when you hide or misrepresent information to receive or increase unemployment benefits.

Most of the time this occurs when people lie about their work situation and how much money they make. Things like not reporting cash income, failing to conduct a job search, and not reporting other types of reimbursement are all fraudulent actions. (A full list is included in the article.) Sometimes people don’t even realize they are committing fraud. If you are collecting unemployment you should make sure you are not doing any of these things.

 What happens if you commit unemployment fraud?

Whether you commit unemployment insurance fraud intentionally or accidentally, you will have to pay back the benefits you received plus a penalty. It also means you will be restricted from receiving benefits in the future. Punishment varies by state, so you should check your state’s law to understand the full picture.

Here’s what’s going on in the news (related to careers of course):

• Labor coalition is accusing Starbucks of a “flawed” union strategy.

• A better way to handle layoffs.

• Google employees fear AI is slowly replacing their jobs.

This flexibility is especially beneficial for individuals who have other commitments such as a full-time job, studies, or family responsibilities.

2. Extra Income: One of the primary motivations for having a side hustle is to earn additional income. SurveyJunkie offers compensation to survey takers for completing surveys. While the income may vary depending on factors like survey length and complexity, it can be a convenient way to supplement your regular income or save up for specific goals.

This flexibility can be particularly appealing for digital nomads or individuals seeking location-independent work.

5. Variety and Engagement: Participating in online surveys exposes you to a range of topics and provides an opportunity to share your opinions.

How To Get Your Job Mojo Back!

In the video above, J.T. explains why she believes so many people have lost their mojo in their careers.

The pandemic created a lot of stress for workers and caused many of them to not want to work anymore. People are mentally exhausted and don’t have the energy to be excited about work. They’ve lost their mojo!

If this sounds like you, J.T. has a tip to help you get that excitement back: create an interview bucket list. This list should consist of companies who you would love to work for. Whether it’s the company’s mission that you admire or you just really love a product of theirs, your list should consist of only the best. Take your time and do your research, the company doesn’t have to be hiring to make it onto your bucket list either.

If you would like some additional assistance getting your mojo back in your career, we can help. A Work It DAILY membership will give you the tools you need to build your excitement and confidence.
