Not fake news. Here are the special eligibility "loopholes" to collect unemployment benefits under the CARES Act.
To be eligible for this special expansion of benefits, individuals must provide self-certification to the state that they are (1) partially or fully unemployed, or (2) unable and unavailable to work because:
1. They have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or have symptoms of it and seeking diagnosis.
2. A member of their household has been diagnosed with COVID-19.
3. They are providing care for a family or household member diagnosed with COVID-19.
4. A child or other person in the household for whom they have primary caregiving responsibility is unable to attend school or another facility that is closed as a direct result of the COVID-19 health emergency, and such school or facility care is required for the individual to work.
5. They cannot reach the place of employment because of a quarantine imposed as a direct result of the COVID-19 health emergency.
6. They were scheduled to start employment and do not have a job or cannot reach their place of employment as a result of the COVID-19 public health emergency.
7. They have become the breadwinner or major support for a household because the head of household has died as a direct result of COVID-19.
8. They had to quit their job as a direct result of the COVID-19 public health emergency.
9. Their place of employment is closed as a direct result of the COVID-19 public health emergency.
10. They meet other criteria established by the Secretary of Labor.
Can anyone cite a specific example where someone collecting unemployment benefits under the CARES Act had their benefits CUT OFF?
