and Georgetown Indoor Pool WHEN Saturday TIME FOR ALL AGES What a shame He thought it was some son of a game to claim a little more Uncmploy Insurance than the law allowed Now he s in trouble He didn t report earnings and work while getting I mean it was only a few bucks Youve got millions We don t have any money It all belongs to the people of Canada And when you deliberately claim more than you re allowed by law youre stealing from your neighbours friends fellow employees employers and the Government of Canada Its our job to pay benefits fairly efficiently and according to law Its also our 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 youre not available for work is abuse pure and simple Lots of people rip off UI Why are you picking on me and howd you find out Not so fast The vast majority of our claunants arc completely honest They use UI as it was intended as a financial bridge between jobs And no one s picking on you Anyone wt find abusing Uncmploy 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 mums a criminal record employs almost 500 full time trained claims investigators and like any modern organization we use new data handling techniques to their best advantage We match up Records of Employment with claim records to find the cheaters who dont report earnings while theyre on We dont like to prosecute We d rather avoid that painful process by telling people that if they cheat theyll probably be caught I never really believed It was criminal

benefits than the law allows Almost as ifit were socially acceptable or even fun Everyone knows this goes on No one knows better than we do Suppose you lose your job If youve been paying into 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 us And as long as you do
