    Default Re: What to Do if You Didn't Report a New Job and Received an Unemployment Overpaymen

    How about this: "Of the 44,488 unemployment cheats from July of 2011 through July of 2014, the state referred just 93 of them for criminal prosecution. In other words, 99.8% of the people who made intentional misrepresentations were not charged with a crime."

    And in chase chyvan missed it, the actual audit the above article refers to: https://localtvwiti.files.wordpress....2/ui-audit.pdf

    Vime75, please don't listen to chyvan's fear-mongering. The chances of you going to jail (or even being prosecuted) are minuscule.

    Great article, but it stops at 2014, and besides that, it's from WI. Maybe they don't care yet.

    http://www.recordonline.com/article/...news/403100322 Then this happened.

    Then those articles I posted from 2018. Things have changed.

    And your evaluation of the OP's writing skills is STILL not evidence of anything the OP needs to worry about. Vime75, just research chyvan's hx here. I still maintain that if Commentator and I had said you WOULD be prosecuted, she'd be jumping up and down denying the possibility. It would be far more in character.

    But for the sake of peace, I'll agree to let her have the last word since she's going to insist on it anyway. Just know that nothing she has posted yet has changed my mind that the chances of your getting anything more than a slap on the wrist is minuscule and I'm not convinced you're even due that much. And if she had anything that was likely to change my mind she'd have posted it already. She's just trying to be the big expert for her own ego, as much as she'll deny it. Don't let her frighten you. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO JAIL.

    The last word, by golly, we'll have it the last time or die for it, won't we?

    "I'm pretty sure the attorney will know exactly how to find out what are the characteristics of the current UI fraud prosecutions in her county."

    And this would do what? Accomplish what? Help her in what way? The attorney may or may not work closely with the local DA. and their county may be a small rural one which has never seen an unemployment insurance prosecution. Local attorneys do not have a lot of clues what is going on with the unemployment system in their area, they're just rarely involved with it, most of them have never seen an unemployment insurance fraud prosecution, as there are not many of them, and they tend to have no more expertise in unemployment issues than any one for example, on a website who has learned to Google random U.I. information. They're smart people, they will help you all they can, but I maintain that during your investigation, unless you are actually prosecuted and have to go into the criminal court system, where you do always need an attorney to represent you, that's not a lot . The U.I system
    investigators do not give a rat's butt what her own words were, they don't need to use them against her, they have the concrete proof that she said(or marked, or wrote down) this, this and this on her certification,while she worked exactly this number of hours and made exactly this amount of money in gross wages for this week. There's not going to be any disputing that she did what they show she did, and that she answered the questions incorrectly, dishonestly, wrongly, whatever. Whether she admitted she did it or not, that doesn't matter.

    But in any case I think this person is going to do okay. Yes, like thousands and thousands of people before her, she plain old committed U.I. fraud. And she is willing to pay the money back. It will work out.
