    Default Notified of Unemployment Insurance Benefits Eligibility Interview

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: California

    So here's the story.

    I was laid off my job for a 3 month hiatus. I filed for unemployment and still had a claim open from the previous year, it would run out in May.

    I found a quick day gig and was told I would be paid as an Independent Contractor for 300$ for the day. It is a newer smaller company. Boss said I would not be taxed, or gone through payroll, or be 1099'd for the next tax period. It was as close as under the table as I could figure. He said if any eyebrows were raised, just claim they payed me for services from awhile ago.

    He said if I stayed on he'd pay me as an equipment rental fee. Same way of payment.

    I realize this sounds very shady. I wasn't sure about it either. But he gave me good assurance. But now here I am holding the eligibility letter.

    Questions on back are...
    The reason why you did not provide the info required to file your new claim. This info may include: Your last employer name and address, a letter or form from Social Security Administration verifying the Social Security Number assigned to you, proof of wages you earned, answers to any other questions required to file a claim.

    Not sure if I'm in legal trouble here or if they are just trying to see why I re-file onto my existing claim. Please help!

    We have no way of telling you why you are investigated.

    One of the risks, though, in fraudulently failing to report income is that the state will find out about it.
