Wife on unemployment, have a question

[00bolt]

My wife and I got married young, like 20-21 years old. Been married 10 years now and have always worked. Even owned our own business for like 8 years now. My wife has worked for another company for 7 years now... anyway, a bunch of new boses came in and cleaned house and fired her about a month ago.

She applied for unemployment and has gotten 2 checks so far. today she received a call from a recruiter saying she has to meet with her and go on all these interviews that she is going to setup weekly and would have to accept any job offer she gets where she would make $12.50 or more.

this has freaked my wife out as she doesnt want one of those jobs and wants to get something on her own (yes she is actively looking)..

so does anyone know about this recruiter thing? iv never heard of it. does she have to comply with her? or is it just another tool to help her find a job?

she needs to take that job while she is still actively looking

[00bolt]

well she has been on a couple interviews and waiting to hear back, but she dont want to go get a job at walmart or whatever crap job this recruiter is going to offer her.

sounds like a scam to me

[00bolt]

thats what we were thinking...

[SMKR]

Id call with and verify this with the state.

[Broncojohnny]

Exactly, call and verify.

Walmart doesn't pay 12.50!!

Doesn't sound legit to me. I've been on the dole for almost 4 months now and a friend of my dad's has been on for about 13 mo and neither of us have gotten a call like this.

Perfectly legit.

You can't sit on your ass collecting unemployment when there are jobs out there waiting to be filled. The state requires that you go on a certain number of interviews or you don't collect the unemployment check.

Should we pay everyone to sit around while they wait for their dream job to magically appear?

You think like the unemployment office people. If she hadn't got off ass and worked, she wouldn't have any unemployment insurance to draw. The tax payers dont pay for unemployment anyway, the employers pay for that. I say make your contacts, and ride it out.

99 weeks of handouts!

Where do you think that money comes from, for the employer to pay unemployment?
