$160 million overpaid is nothing compared to what they overpaid for their football team.

Did Alabama give it to random arse Nigerians not even in the country? No? Keep riding, at least people in this country got it.

well shawanda and shamera done spent that shite on hair and nail extensions already so there aint nothing left to give back
getting it back will consist of wasting another $10 million to collect back $100k from the few idiots that didnt already spend the money

They actually did. Me and many others had scammers trying to claim unemployment benefits on us. It was a big deal during the pandemic. Turns out all they had to do was search ssn’s on the website and submit claims. I had to freeze my credit, file a fraud claim with the state and make a police report. I know of at least 10 other people that had the same thing happen.

Now I understand how all the new cars disappeared of the lots in such a short time.

FROM YOUR LINK:
Brandi Davis, a restaurant staffer from Birmingham, got in the unemployment line at 4 a.m. behind hundreds of people to get help when her workplace shut down. Months later, she got an overpayment letter for $16,000. She called the department for months and finally spoke with the woman who had helped her get unemployment. The woman waived her overpayment debt and got another $6,000 dollars in benefits released to her.
“She made it all right,” she said. Davis said she did not know what the original problem with her account was or why it was waived, but the experience was awful.
Brandi D wheedles and pleads with a state worker drone. And the worker drone reacts and has the ability to do mash a button in the system and Brandi walks out $22,000 to the good. Good for her.
But is it fair to those who do pay back the overpayment? Who gave these state functionaries the authority to make these individual adjustments? Mee-Maw?"
Either force everyone to reimburse overpayments or forgive them all, declare mental incompetence on the State's part and take it out of the state gov't workers' salaries to reimburse the feds. This kind of stuff ticks me off.

I know. Multiple states paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to 100% foreign scammers (mostly Nigerians who weren't even princes). The news broke and they were like...."Whoopsie!". Then, they commenced to putting the same motherfrickers who allowed the shite to happen in the first damn place in charge of "fixing the problem". No one was fired. No one was publicly reprimanded. No one was demoted or reassigned.
If you or me fricked up at our job so badly that it cost our employer hundreds of millions of dollars and public embarrassment, we would be lucky to only get fired. We would likely be facing criminal charges, too.

Same here. Got called into the bosses office one day and he asked if had try to file an unemployment claim and handed me a form he had received from the state. I told him of course not and pointed out where they had spelled my last name wrong on the application.

The least surprising thing I’ve read ever. Alabama was handing out UE like candy.
One guy I terminated was awarded UE even though I provided previous write-ups and text messages from him admitting to the events that led to his firing. I appealed and lost and that dude didn’t show up for the appeal hearing.
They awarded UE on a fraudulent claim made in one of our employees name but using a different social security number. I disputed it, appealed the decision, got a hearing and it still went through.
The director of the Alabama Dept of Labor was just named President of National Labor Association

You pay "unemployment insurance" on every paycheck you get but when you use it the government acts like theyre doing you some favor.
Also, employers will try to find a way to go around the rules to try to stop ex-employees from claiming. Now if a business is shutting down, they don’t care as much.
What I say is that unemployment should be treated as fund that individuals can access funds that they have accumulated over the life of their work regardless of how they separated from their previous employer. You can also access the fund for unpaid family or medical leave, or for the birth of a child.
But once the leave or time between jobs is over, the funds need to be replenished either through new contributions, money can be advanced up to 6 months based on the state average wage.

Meanwhile, deep pockets Gordon McKernan received $5M in PPP money.
Do trial lawyers really need a handout from the government?
But yes. Let’s go after the little guy for our accounting mistakes.

Man a lot of folks in here who don’t think anyone should be accountable for receiving to much money. You can say corps shouldn’t get tax breaks but people should be accountable for taking too much
