Our government is inept and corrupt that's why I cheat on my taxes.— MrBigDizzle- Now that's Obamacare working for us in our state. They've 'already' stopped payment to 3,000 people. And those people had already gotten UC for how long? Pathetic.— PhillySubsMac
- And to think it only took somebody administering the program to have a brief moment of competency and action.— Tkat
- Apologists and Enablers will not like this— Yohanna
- You can bet your booty on that. — Falls Ed
- why don't you pass a law that increases their sentences for filing false applications for unemployment benefits?— TheGuyfromPhilly
- Or just charge them with criminal fraud. — Falls Ed
- And why aren't these people being charged with an additional crime?— TheFoxxy1
- Please stop unemployment benefits for Jerry Sandusky.— TheGuyfromPhilly
"JNET has been around for about two decades, Egan said. Adding the unemployment compensation data-check started with a pilot program last May.
It took about a week, and maybe $5,000 worth of staff time, Egan said."
We saved $18,000,000 in taxpayer money for a lousy $5,000! Mr BigDizzle is so right. WHY should honest taxpayers pay their "fair share" when our money gets wasted on a massive scale?
— The Monk- JNET sounds like a name for a Jewish dating site.— uncle meat
- How about Pennsylvanians housed in Federal Prisons located in Pennsylvania? Hope there is someone in the DOJ who can share a pertinent database to screen out their prisoners getting unemployment benefits from the state of Pennsylvania.— Pugh
Comment removed.- I have a proposal for our immigration policy. For any hard working immigrant we take in from another country, they must be willing to take one of the schleps. I'd rather have a hard working immigrant than these slugs who have been here for generations taking up space.
- no, they can't get unemployment while they are IN jail.
no one said anything about when they get out.— ekw555 - A lot of law-abiding people who have never been in prison can't get jobs. What about them? — Falls Ed
- Wow the .gov can't do anything right.— Taxpaying Voter
- To Dr.Thora Mann, PhD. So are you in agreement with prisoners receiving unemployment benefits while serving time in prison? If so, you may have PhD after your name, but you are just plain STUPID! Unfortunately, there is no know cure for stupidity.— oneway
- Dr Thora Mann, who is obviously not a real doctor, maybe you should adopt a convict and let them live with you. They are just plugging a leak. Duh!
- How about arresting all the crooks at the federal reserve, for printing money out of thin air with nothing backing it up.— donjuango
- Is it me, or is the USA slowly becoming a Fascist Communist police state?— donjuango
- Are you complaining because the government is enforcing a law that states an inmate cannot collect unemployment?
- They didn't cross reference Prison Inmates with Unemployment Rolls? WTF. It NEVER ends how much taxpayer money is wasted in the most mind blowing ways. Theis stuff is SO CRAZY you assume it can't be true, but the truth is ususally worse.— warrentheape
- It's as if we can't cross reference Social Security Numbers. It is mind baffling.
- Of course they can, but some political hack has better thingd to do then their job. I called the IRS last week to report fraud and possible use of my granddaughters ss# as a deduction. I was on the phone for about 45 min, put through the wringer and told to printout a couple forms and mail them in. The moron didn't ask for one bit of info, when in my mind all he had to do was ask me her # and cross reference it to find the POS thief. — TomM
- Corbett and his incompetent stooges crapping the bed, again! Good work!— The Fundamentals of the Economy are Fine
- so, successfully attacking & fixing the problem is "crapping the bed"?
explain the logic underlying that conclusion.— ekw555 - Another moron blaming Corbett for something that has been going on for years(16 or so?). — TomM
- Money is better spent ending all payments rather than seeking damages. Mr. Bigdizzle, your sins will find you out. Lots of people and institutions are corrupt. Others are not. You don't have to be.— ptahan
- Clever, yet goes on. WHY??— Ben Fan
- Some County politicians don't want to offend inmates' families. — Falls Ed
- This should erase any doubt in your mind that government entities are run by pathetic, incompetent fools.— Jacksincharge
- The majority of Pennsylvania’s county prisons – 51 out of 63 – already use JNET to access and cross-reference data such as criminal history, driving records, prison records and other inmate information, said Dan Egan, spokesman for the Office of Administration.
51 out of 63 county prisons already use JNET. So, 12 of them do not. Wonder if Philadelphia County uses JNET?— Falls Ed
