Because of these new “innovative approaches”, people in prison are getting unemployment checks. That’s not bull****, that’s the truth.

A legislative audit released Tuesday says around $150,000 in benefits were paid over the last three years on behalf of claimants who were either in prison or jail.
Auditors had WorkForce West Virginia check for the Social Security numbers of all inmates during that time period. The agency oversees unemployment compensation, and found it had paid 700 weeks’ worth of benefits on behalf of at least 26 inmates.
In one case, the benefits ran for a total of two and a half years.
