    It sounds like she may have lied on her application for unemployment benefits.
    Thank you for calling Card Services, how may I take your abuse today? ~Headset Hellion

        Having been on the "not working" side of Unemployment more than once ~_~ I can tell you that, in most (maybe all) states in the US, the major qualifiers for unemployment benefits are that the termination of your employment was not initiated by you/the worker, and that you were not canned for misbehavior/doing something against policy or the law. Beyond that the exact means don't necessarily matter. YMMV.

          She's been calling about this for a year?? In that amount of time, she could have saved up at least part of what she owes. I get that unemployment doesn't pay a lot, but a year's a long time to spend trying to get out of a debt.
          When you start at zero, everything's progress.

            Going on for a year? Kind of late to use the "I got unemployment" logic. At least in my state, UI only pays for six months. So she's not getting it now, I'll bet.

              Trips...Give me a second to phrase this in a not-quite fratchy way...>_>

              There are certain circumstances under which a person can continue to get UI payments beyond six months. It's just that, when that happens, they are no longer counted as "Unemployed" as far as the Unemployment rate calculations are concerned.

                Being laid off in an At-Will state, with no "cause" asserted, allows you to get Unemployment. (At-will means that the business does not HAVE to provide a cause for termination, but they may do so, on the record, if they wish to do so; many do not)
