Not working for you?

… Congress.

Application DENIED

Arkansas $uck$, the businesses burn you out till they can fire you and you can’t collect a dime after years of paying in!

“So, doctor, will I be able to play the violin after the operation?”

Eh me thoughts one has to apply for employment. Me never knews you has to apply for being unemployed too.

Trying to pull a Andy Capp are we?

It’s a tough job, but somebody doesn’t have to do it.

It’s always something, isn’t it?

And he walks off to The Rose and Crown to try to mooch a pint off any fool who will buy him one. Look out for that canal!

Picky, picky, picky.

Wrong answer!

I don’t know why this is a problem. We give tax refunds to people who never paid taxes. We give Social Security payments to people who never paid into the system. We give illegals all manner of free money – in actual cash and in services. So it’s not that big of a leap to give unemployment benefits to someone who never worked. The Dems will be forcing us to do that next.

Nobody likes to apply for unemployment. Well, except for Andy Capp.

We have seen the beginning of Andy Capp’s family tree.

Check with Andy Capp—he will give you pointers on how to collect $$$!

Collecting clams isn’t a qualification!

Self employed government subcontractor.

Dang, same problem I keep having!

Such a good one for my birthday.

You have to pay into it before you can make any claim. You employer DOES NOT pay in to it, it’s taken from what would be your wages. Your employer paying into it is an accounting trick. They would not have the money to pay into it if you did not work to make the product to be sold.

Here’s a myth-buster about unemployment benefits if you work in Virginia.

“The Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) administers the unemployment insurance program that provides temporary financial assistance to individuals who become unemployed through no fault of their own. Benefits are paid through taxes on employers covered under the Virginia Unemployment Compensation Act. No part of the cost of your unemployment benefits is deducted from your earnings.”

I know this to be true. My wife owned two 7-Eleven and out of the few employees she fired, only one person qualified for benefits.
