Louisiana wants thousands of state and local government workers to send back $10 million in unemployment pay they received while still collecting regular pay after Hurricane Katrina.

A state audit found lax control by the state Department of Labor was the main reason the 5,439 ineligible workers were able to collect up to $258 a week, Legislative Auditor Steve Theriot said.

Administrative workers with the City of New Orleans received the most money with 2,233 wrongfully collecting $4.3 million. There were 1,638 state workers, many with the state Department of Health and Hospitals, who got $2.7 million.

The money was a small portion of the overall $560 million the department pay out in unemployment benefits to public and private workers in the four months after Katrina.

With residents spread nationwide and difficult to contact, state labor officials suspended the requirement for unemployment applicants to contact the department weekly to verify they are looking for jobs and to report any earnings, said assistant Labor Secretary Marianne Sullivan.

She said the agency suspended the call-in rule for 12 weeks based on meetings with officials from the governor's office, the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, the state AFL-CIO and the Council for a Better Louisiana.

The department has gotten back $3.3 million of improper payments so far, mostly from unused benefit debit cards. It seems unlikely the state will get all the money.

Some recipients interviewed by Theriot's office said they had notified the Labor Department they were working. Others said they were entitled to the money as disaster relief. One said he couldn't recall applying for the benefits and spent the unemployment aid without realizing from where it came.

State labor officials will not pursue fraud charges against those who got the extra unemployment money unless there is strong evidence that applicants tried to defraud the state.

Is it because putin has his own agenda,unlike boris yeltsin who gleefully followed what Clinton pressured him to due. Or because russia has more oil than we do?

It took me a year to get her to get a job after she graduated high school. Finally, she is employed full time at WalMart, so I went out on a limb and helped her to get a car so she can get back and forth to work.
Last nite was the 2nd time she called me from Walmart to tell me she needed gas money, or she was not going to be able to get home.
This left me getting up at 6 am this morning to drive 25 mi to give her money to get gas.
This is ridiculous!!! I just bought her a gas card for $45 bucks and she ran all that out of her car and spent her money on a body piercing.
She lived with her dad from the time she was 11 till she was 16. and somewhere in there she stopped maturing. She is so irresponsible, I cannot take this much more. She is just ridiculous. We live within 10 miles of a mall and she cannot get a job there for whatever reason. I need her to knock it off. We have no bus service since we live in rural america. She cannot ride a bicycle to work.

My friend and I have been thinking about doing a bit of backpacking in London. Not coming from a big city, we we're wondering about what to see and do on a tight budget in London.
Also, about hostels, has anyone ever heard of Globetrotters Inn near Ravencourt Gardens?
We've been to Europe before (France) and aren't worried about transportation. We'll be there roughly a week.

Antyhing helps,

Thanks!

We stayed in apartment 641. My wife said from the outset there was a sour, almost sewerage smell there. We ate and drank the same things. She took ill the second week and is still very ill, violently sick etc. Hasn't eaten a meal for a week, surviving on sports drinks and bed rest. Awaiting blood tests etc. Anyone else with a similar experience at CPO?
