You can do this, but you gotta do a job that pay in cash and don't report anything. I know folk that have done it. No issues. There's no other way.I assumed that I didn't have report my earnings from driving for these food delivery apps while on unemployment benefits. I was dead wrong. I just found out that they flagged me for fraud and put a temporary hold on my benefits. I missed the interview to determine my eligibility late March so they rescheduling me for anytime within the next two weeks to one month. Honesty comes a long way

Worst case scenario is they make you pay it back. How long you been driving on delivery apps while collecting unemployment tho?I assumed that I didn't have report my earnings from driving for these food delivery apps while on unemployment benefits. I was dead wrong

this kinda happened to my friend once
he filed for unemployment (pre-covid) and they were taking a while to approve so he found a job
the benefits kicked in right when he had his first day of work
he left the job that day
for a while, it seemed like it worked but a year later they found out because the company gave him a check for that one day and made him pay all the unemployment money back
I bet they'll just ask for the money back

You’ll just have to pay the money back plus any penalty week. You won’t be banned from unemployment permanently. You’ll probably just have some penalty weeks.

Eh, it's not the end of the world, you'll just have to pay the money back you can work out a payment plan to do that in most cases.

Feds like
They have the dates I worked in the app and when I filed for unemployment last year during the start of the pandemic, I wasn't driving for any apps.How did they know it wasnt from jan-march/april 2020 before you got unemployment? Something not adding up
when a company like grubhub gives you a 1099 it just says total amount earned, not the dates you earned that money or am i missing something with these contracting companies?
if you got flagged for unemployment fraud its more likely you couldnt prove your former employment status to apply for employment in first place
edit: ive been a contracted self employed worker since 2013, i just checked some random 1099s I had near by from 2016-2019
none say the date range of when I got paid from that employer. It just says the total amount you got paid. So how would unemployment know you got paid by door dash/grub hub during the time period you got unemployment? Unemployment wasnt the full 12 months of last yearwhy not just say you made that money January-March
I smell some bull shyt
