Steve Mnuchin: Employees Who Reject Offer To Resume Work Ineligible For Unemployment

 Steven Mnuchin, U.S. Treasury secretary, speaks during a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) event in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Tuesday, April 28, 2020. President Trump defended his early, dismissive response to the coronavirus outbreak, saying Tuesday that he was told late in February that it wouldn't be a problem.

With more reports surfacing of employees refusing to return to work due to the benefits of unemployment, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said on Tuesday that people who persist in staying home despite an offer to work will not be eligible for federal unemployment benefits.

“If you offer a person a job…and that person does not take the job…then that person would not be allowed to get unemployment,” Mnuchin said Tuesday, as reported by Fox News.

    What about the ones still waiting for the benefits that never showed?
    The gov and media did their best to keep people home and afraid, now expect everyone to believe them and hurry back?
    Hilarious.
    The Gov should be declared ineligible for respect and taxes, due to creating a lock down based on lies and faulty models.
