    Default Re: Unemployment and Reporting School Info Appreciated

    My state is not yours.

    In my state, if you are enrolled in a DUA approved re-training program and you got their approval before you enrolled in school (not necessarily before you applied for unemployment) you not only would not be denied, but you would be exempted from having to conduct a job search.

    My state would also not object to your being enrolled in school if your classes did not interfere with your regular work shift. If you normally work 9-5 and you are taking classes between 7:30 and 9:30, they'd never blink an eye. As long as you're honest.

    However, there are a lot of checks and balances that you do not necessarily see or know about, and if you lie to them, when they find out (notice I did not say IF they find out - I said WHEN they find out) then yeah, bad things would happen.

    You sound like you just know it down in your heart, and that it would just break your heart if you were denied. So get a part time job delivering pizzas or something instead of applying if you're really that sure and going to be that traumatized about it.

    It costs nothing to apply for unemployment, there are no severe sanctions for being denied, and even if it happened, the denial you get now is not permanent even if you are denied at this time and there is quite a good possibility that they WILL NOT deny you. But you'd rather lie and try to pretend you aren't in school so that you can pick up something by committing fraud and quite possibly set yourself up for an overpayment?

    Apply, tell them the truth, and see what happens. Nobody here will (or should) advise you on how much dishonesty we think you can get away with. If you choose to be dishonest with them that is entirely on you, and you alone will bear any consequences of your own dishonesty. Why would anyone else want that on them? You are likely wrong in your assessment of what will happen any way, and this scheming way of approaching the world is not going to serve you well in the long run.
