She chose not to run for re-election. Unemployment insurance only applies to those laid off through no fault of their own. Even if she had been defeated, she would not be eligible.

I agree with everything said about this leech-ette on society...however, looking at it from a different angle it would have been lots MORE fun catching the unemployment bureaucracy APPROVING AND PAYING her monthly checks.

In fact, I'm surprised they DIDN'T approve her. They've probably already okayed gazillions of fraudulent amnesty-granted immigrants, why not such a selfless patriot as is this Demonrat ex-legislator?

In 22yrs of owning my own Family Farm business (Sub-S Corp) in the CommunistWealth of PA, I was never able to collect unemployment benefits, due to having day-to-day-control of the company, being a corp officer and owning stock.

It was a seasonal business - April to Nov - and although I easily paid $100k+ into the UC Fund, I got zip in the off months, for all those years. All employees were paid UC during downtime.

I challenged the UC ruling 2x, but lost. If I’d had all that money I paid-in, invested at 3-4%, I’d have had a very nice savings acct.
