No gov't in the country would question those unemployment benefits though, these days. So it's safe for them to file and collect.

- ncallaway 7y agoThat's not exactly true. Some states reopening (like GA) no longer consider a covid absence to still be eligible to receive benefits. I think those still have exceptions for high risk individuals.
- cbanek 7y agoThat doesn't seem true: https://labor.vermont.gov/unemployment-insurance/refusal-return-work-covid-19 https://labor.vermont.gov/unemployment-insurance/refusal-ret... I believe there was also an HN submission about a group of states doing these types of things to force people back to work even if they feel scared of catching the virus, or giving up their unemployment benefits, though I can't find it now, so Vermont isn't the only state doing this.
