Conversation 1: Is there someone I can talk to about a payment question? - Yes, we can handle that here. How can I help you? - My paycheck that just arrived is less than last week's check.
-
2
Did you work at all during the last pay period? - Yes, actually, I did make a little bit of money.
-
3
Did you report it on your Continued Claim Form? - Yes, I showed that income on the Continued Claim Form.
-
4
Well, we deducted a portion of the income that you made from this week's check. - Maybe I just shouldn't show the income then.
-
5
That is cheating and, if you get caught, you will be fined and disqualified from collecting unemployment.

Conversation 2: I have a question about my payment and need someone to help me. - Yes, I would be happy to answer a question about payment. What do you need help with?
-
7
I can't figure out why my paycheck this week is smaller than last week's. - Did you generate any income during that time period?
-
8
I made a little bit of money, but not much. - Did that income show up on your last Continued Claim Form?
-
9
I claimed the work I did on the last Continued Claim Form. - When you are able to find work and get paid, we always take away part of your check.
-
10
That being the case, I don't think that I am going to show the income next time. - Don't do it! If you get caught making false statements, you can have your claim closed.

Conversation 3: I was wondering if someone in your office could help me with a question I have about my payment.
-
12
I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. - My paycheck seems to be smaller than the one I received last week.
-
13
What about income? Did you make any money during that period? - My old employer gave us a couple days of work during that period.
-
14
When you filled out your Continued Claim Form, did you show that income? - Of course I wrote down the work that I had done on the Continued Claim Form.
-
15
What happens is, when you make money, we take part of your benefits away. - I am not going to show any income from now on then.
-
16
I wouldn't do that if I were you. There is a severe penalty if you get caught making false statements.
