What a shame.
He thought it was some sort of a
game to claim a little moreUnemploy-
ment Insurance than the law allowed.
Now he's in trouble. He didn't
report earnings and work while
getting UI.
"I mean, it was only a few
bucks. You've got millions"
We don't have any money.
- It all belongs to the people of
Canada. And when you deliberately
claim more thanyou're allowed by law,
you're stealing from your neighbours,
flfends, fellow employees, employers
and the Government of Canada.
It's our job to pay UI benefits
fairly, efficiently andccording to law.
It's also our job to make sure the pro-
gram is not abused by those who have
little concern for their fellow citizens
or the law of the land.
Getting UI when you're not •
available for work is abuse, pure and .•
simple.
"Lots of people rip off UI.
Why are you picking on me, and
how'd you find out?"
Not so fast.
The vast majority of our claimants
are completely honest. They use UI as
it was. intended -- a financial bridge
between jobs.
And Bio -one's picking on you.
Anyone we find abusing Unemploy-
ment insurance will be dealt with
under the law.
If you're caught, money improper-
ly claimed must be paid back in full. It
could mean you pay an administrative -
penalty. Or you could face prosecution
under the Unemployment Insurance
Act, or the Criminal Code of Canada.
Conviction means a criminal record.
UIemploys almost 500 full-time
trained claims investigators and, like
any modern organization, we use new
data-handling techniques to tvheir best
advantage. We march up Records of'
Employment with claim records
to find the cheaters who don't report
earnings while they're on UI.
We don't like to prosecute. We'd,
rather avoid that painful process by •
telling people that if they cheat,
they'll probably be caught.
"I never really believed
it was criminal!'
Some people's attitudes toward
Unemployment Insurance have been
hard to explain.
People who would never consider,.
shoplifting d, outright robbery have
bees willing to hide earnings from us
to get more UI benefits Than the law
allows. Almost as if it were socially
acceptable or even fun.
Everyone knows this goes on.
No one knows better than we do.
. Suppose you lose your job. If
you've been paying into Unemploy-
ment Insurance and you qualify, you
have a right to benefits. And we
will respect that right as long as you
remember your obligations, .too.
Your obligation is to play it
straight with use And as long as you
do that, we're proud -to help you.
