So along comes the pandemic and in typical form the Government turns on the firehose of free money thru the Cares Act and the Employment Development Department. It made sense to keep households flush during a time of elevated layoffs during the shut down. Now the EDD finds out that the level of fraud is staggering. It turns out that they where so busy shoveling cash cards in the mail that no one thought it important enough to cross reference the applications with actual employment records. They ended up sending close to a billion dollars to inmates or at least the family members of inmates of the State Prisons. Now the EDD says the error was so big involving thousands of inmates that there is no way to prosecute them. In the same news, Lift and Uber drivers which are independent contractors and not eligible for the same benefits were told to apply anyway and state their income. It was supposed to be Net Income reported but apparently that was not made clear enough so now these folks are being told they need to pay back almost half of the money they received.
Yeah lets turn over Health Care to the government, it will be just fine!!
Get ready to bail out California again America. Congress will no doubt forgive these over payments, We appreciate the support.
