ANY wages earned must be reported every week when you call in to file for your UE check, if you earn money and do not report it and they find out, it's fraud and you will pay back every red cent they gave you! a random number of ppl are chosen every week and the lucky few have to take classes, once a month for 3 mos, 2hr long talking about resumes how to interview etc...others just get checks in the mail. they base the rate off ur past 2 jobs, when i was on it i was actually making more than i was working! but i made 13.50 at my job i was laid off from and 18.50 before that so i actually ended up receiving around the same as a 15$hr job 40hr a week, it was hard going back to work i wont lie, i made more staying at home taking care of my newborn son than i did working! not to mention daycare for him was going to be 180$ week! so i would have had to be making 20+ per hr to compensate for gas+daycare to match what i was making on UE, i rode mine out...and to all the peeps that think ppl on ue are lazy...in some cases yes, but if you got paid MORE to sit home and raise your newborn without having to worry about a steady income...please lie to me and tell me you would go to work instead...think of ALL the paychecks you have gotten...were gross you made 1500-2000$ on a 70hr week...and you only bring home 800-1200 after uncle sam takes his cut...i did not feel a bit guilty! thats my
