Congress created special unemployment benefits so that laid-off workers could stay home while the coronavirus pandemic rages outside, but the Trump administration wants states to make sure that nobody’s getting benefits if they could be at work.
The U.S. Department of Labor has told states, which implement unemployment insurance programs according to federal rules, that they should ask employers to notify the state if someone turns down an offer to come back to work.
In a guidance memo on Monday evening, the Labor Department said “states are strongly encouraged to request employers to provide information when workers refuse to return to their jobs for reasons that do not support their continued eligibility for benefits.”

Leave everybody the Hell Alone , & Get them them the damn Benefits
they deserve already !!
Not our fault the frigg'in Pandemic came or the Govt Locked us the hell
down , so STOP blaming Americans for doing What they were Told to
do by the Govt !!! Don't force them back to work when it is Not Safe
Don't Violate their Rights either !!!
Govt just don't like paying you , they want You paying them again !!!
Billions and billions and billions earmarked for special interests in these relief bills, but don't let the severely affected "little guys" get away with collecting an extra week or two of benefits. Even if it did take them jumping through MONTHS of steps and phone calls to finally get it. Sounds legit.
Govt won't let ALOT of those WHO want to go back to work > GO to
work !!!
So what the Hell is this crap ?? Govt can't have it Both WAYS !!!!!
If Govt Keeps us Locked in , then they HAVE TO PAY US TOO !!!
WE can't live on Nothing !!!
It's difficult for me to shed a tear over this. I work 3 jobs (including a local Government). I receive NO benefits from which to yank from any of them.
Single working mom (waitress); with two kids (toddlers).
Averaged 370 per week take home (six days), mostly tips.
Unemployment pays me 262 per week, plus 600 = 862 per week.
When I go back to work, I'll work about 46 hours, get no unemployment and no 600.
I'll also have to start paying for child care again.
Give me a good reason why I should not ask the manager to pass me by on the rehire, at least for a little while.
Because you're sucking off the tit of the government you're using fear as an excuse for your laziness.....keep your legs closed and you won't have a pity party story
People Need fkkkking $$$$$ , so Govt better either Pay them or let
them go to work Period !!!
Or there will be Riots & More to come if they are Pressed too far !!!!
Waiting has gone too far , this is MAY 2020 , Still WAITING !!!!
Trump better be Careful or he WILL loose the Election 2020 !!!
Don't Threaten the Voters he NEEDS !!!
That should also be for those lazy Democrats that refuse to return to DC and do their work.
Sorry 4:43PM. I have my own business and I have gone almost 2.5 months without a paycheck since my business was decimated in less than one week. I am single , have a house payment along with all the normal bills and cannot collect unemployment. I have been working at my job for over two months now every day seven days a week and have not collected a dime. So why should you feel superior to be making $862.00 a week when you may have a chance of getting back out in the work force (with less pay) You may be forgetting you will have to pay tax next year on all that extra money so I guess enjoy it now while you can. I was always under the impression if you are called back and refuse, your benefits stop.
What ever happened to the joy you get from a job well done.. I'm tired of people taking the short term satisfaction and sacrificing the long term goal..
Say What ?
Yous not taken any of my due Slavery money that do to me and my 12 kids, by my 4 baby mommas .
Looky Here, yous white peoples need to get back jack.
Wif dat money yous owe me....I gets my dime bag
The law provides for that . Get informed
Trump Don't need to tell the states that !! They Already WILL take your
Benefits as soon as they can > BET your Life on That !!!! FACT
Damn 809...damn

I also own a small business.
First of all, you are eligible for PUA. Go to the Unemployment website in your state and apply. I did, and it saved me.
Secondly: Yes, you must report if employees turn down the return to work offer.
Personally, in that woman's case, I would put her at the end of the line of asking to return to work.
It's only until July 1st. Why not let her get a little ahead while she can?
