Some states have laws against keeping the benefits. Others don’t.

You can’t use `government workers’ and `worker productivity’ in the same sentence.

The UAW people do it every time their factories close to re-tool. So we’re paying them over-and-over.

Federal guidance is to return the money, however, and there was a threat of prosecution at the federal level.

This is from 2013, so hopefully whatever loophole allowed this has been closed. We were briefed that we could draw unemployment, but would have to pay it back when the furlough was over.

Some of our junior people will need it for sure to get by until the paychecks restart.
