Best Answer

You should not do that as it is considered fraud. The purpose of unemployment is to financially assist an individual until they can find employment. If you have a job that pays you cash then you should no longer be receiving unemployment.

Another answer:The above answer applies if your pay is "under the table" and not being reported. However, most states allow your working part time under certain conditions, that also require your reporting the income. Your manner of being paid under those circumstances, does not matter as to whether you were paid by check, chit, merchandise, cash, etc.

Always report your earnings, regardless of how you acquire them to unemployment or you will be found guilty of fraud.
