President Biden says people can’t decline ‘suitable’ job offer and keep getting unemployment benefit

President Biden on Monday said that his administration will make clear that anyone receiving unemployment will forfeit the benefit if they decline an offer for a “suitable” job position.

“We’re gonna make it clear that anyone collecting unemployment who is offered a suitable job must take the job or lose their unemployment benefits,” he said, noting that there are some coronavirus-related exceptions so that individuals do not face a choice “between their basic safety and a paycheck. But otherwise, that’s the law,” he said.

His comments come after a jobs report last week that failed to live up to what many had anticipated and as some argue that individuals are being incentivized not to work as a consequence of supplemental unemployment benefits.

    1. You asked:

      What is the meaning of the word suitable?

      Definition of suitable. 1a : adapted to a use or purpose suitable for kitchen use. b : satisfying propriety : proper suitable dress. c : able, qualified a suitable candidate for the job. 2 obsolete : similar, matching.

      In the case of a job, ones qualifications/ability for a position. A professionally trained welder would not qualify for a brain surgeon position.

      NOTHING to do with money!

  1. It used to be that if you were on unemployment and got offered a job you didn’t have to take it if it was less money than you were making. Well they screwed all that up when they added additional money to their unemployment checks. Now they don’t have to take a job that would actually be paying more than they were making before they were unemployed thanks to the government.

  2. Wrong to take (steal ) Americans Unemployment before the already Appvd Date of Sept 2021 or the Stimulus !!!

    Should be Illegal for states to Stop these needed Intitalments During What is STILL a Pandemic & World
    State of Emergency !!!!

    Govt going Back on it’s own word & commitment !!! Also if the States have already Recvd the Fed $$$ for
    OUR stimulus , that is NOT the State’s $$$$ It is OUR $$$$$ from the Federal Govt , Not from the State !!!!

  3. Crybabies who can’t find workers have No Business trying to Take other people’s Benefits away !!!!!
    They won’t be working for THEM anyway !!!!

  4. Govt Can’t even Wait until Sept 4 2021 to Steal YOUR Unemployment & Stimulus !!!! Should Not be Legal !!!!

  5. What happens when there are No Good Jobs (like Now) & there is No Unemployment ??? Do we Rob Banks ???
