Sort of like how per diem and tax returns work? The IRS says you can account for $XX without receipts in our industry as it is "deemed substantiated." So most airline workers deduct their full allowable amount because receipts aren't necessary up to the maximum set by the IRS, but you know full well that most don't spend anywhere close to the limit. No one is doing anything illegal, but the spirit and intent of the IRS rules are certainly not followed.

I refuse to be a pathetic waste of life and sit on unemployment and contribute to all the problems our country already has. I want to go to another place so I don't have to worry about the new regs in 2013...
...and i'm certainly not going back to instructing...I've had enough of that!

I think at some point this will be a good place to work again...it's a matter of when and at what cost.

If you're working a job and making less than your weekly UI allowance I see nothing wrong with continuing to file, provided of course you're truthful in reporting your earnings. That's part of what unemployment is for.

I'm sure he/she has paid more than their share into unemployment insurance over the years, why not use the insurance when you qualify? It's insurance for times that are out of your control that you aren't earning a wage. He/she is furloughed-check out of his/her control, he/she isn't earning a wage-check.

It's not double dipping. The checks you get for the first month at repugnant are per diem. Not taxable. It's not a wage and thus not required to be reported to UEI. The state unemployment attorney I discussed this with told me that it is absolutely expected and justified. After paying into the insurance policy for 25 plus years I think 3 weeks of payment from the policy still has been a good gamble on their part.

I will! Remember you're a pilot and make less then a cashier at 7-11. Hows that for problems our country has. If its legal, I'll take every penny.

Just to clarify - no employee pays into the "unemployment insurance" - this is only paid by the employer to the state, and in many cases the states have not managed the UI very well, and have had to get loans from the feds. Employees ONLY pay into FICA (Social Security) and Medicare, and the employer matches the contribution (except that FICA contribution for employees has been reduced last year and this year). The states are now required to pay the UI loan amounts back with interest, which at least in Indiana has led to a surcharge on all employers.

Out of all the places I have applied (Skywest, AirWisky, XJT, etc), they are the only ones that have given me an interview date.
