I have this character who won't even look for work. He refuses to work. He was offered a job, but he says it's not good enough for him. I have another guy who is actually working on the side!

Is it worth it?Here are the rates at which claimants were denied benefits in 1994 in those cases which involved what are called "non-separation issues": | ||
