Well as one federal employee on the radio said today — all furloughed federal employees should just stay at home and enjoy their time off because when they come back to work they will get paid for their furlough time.
That does not happen in the private sector. That is double dipping as is filing for ue and not only receiving it but also getting paid later for that furloughed time.
capeesh???
They are double dipping if they collect unemployment now and later, when the govmint starts up, they receive back pay for the same time period. This scenario has happened in the past.
