Senate Republicans seek to make joblessness worse with forced 'volunteer' work →

In recent months, Florida and South Carolina have talked about forcing people to “volunteer” for their unemployment insurance benefits, only to be told it was against federal law. Now, Senate Republicans want to change federal law to allow states to pass such laws but to require all long-term unemployed people to “volunteer” 20 hours a week to continue receiving benefits, with an additional bill introduced by North Carolina’s Richard Burr calling for them to spend 20 hours a week looking for work. Those requirements could be added to Republican efforts to allow drug testing requirements and to deny unemployment insurance to people who don’t have high school diplomas
