Your government NOT at work ...

The District said Monday that hundreds of city workers took nearly $2 million in fraudulent unemployment benefits, a scandal that roiled the D.C. government earlier this year and prompted widespread firings and criminal charges.

Lisa Mallory, the director of the D.C. Department of Employment Services, told the D.C. Council that her agency had detected $1.9 million in overpayments to District workers who collected unemployment benefits while on the city's payroll.

Here in NY the max unemployment benefit you can get is $405.00 a week. That employee from the school district was collecting benefits for 67 weeks if he/she was getting the NY max. I just wonder how it can go on for so long... I understand the system is overburdened with the amount of unemployed, but 67 weeks!
