Justice Department Takes Action Against COVID-19 Fraud | OPA | Department of Justice - 0 views

  •  
    The Department of Justice has announced an update regarding fraudulent unemployment schemes across the nation using COVID 19 as a primary reason. Many financial aid programs for unemployment have been the targets of this issue with scammers milking the benefits that are provided from them. Action has been executed to ensure the protection of these programs and will hold accountable defendants who have been caught being involved of these schemes. The more unemployment fraud makes its way across the nation, even globally, it makes it difficult to provide assistance to people or businesses who are truly in need of the help.

The Effect of COVID-19 on Homelessness - 1 views

  •  
    Many people have become homeless due to the pandemic. Landlords are raising the rent in this time of crisis and people aren't able to afford to live anymore. Unemployment rates have also gone through the roof

    This was a good, but very sad read. I cant imagine having to be evicted out of my home due to being out of work for something like the pandemic. Something completely out of your control. I know that Arizona temporarily put a notice during the lockdown that those who couldn't pay rent were not allowed to be evicted (I was one of them) but it didn't last long enough. Like the article states, COVID19 has long term affects not short ones meaning more time to recover from its effects are needed.

Those who drop out are more likely to be faced with unemployment, poor health, criminal behavior, and need for public assistance. These are all things that end up costing the state billions. This is a chronic issue in our state in particular; Arizona has been ranked one of the highest for high school dropouts for many years.
