I am only going by what i have heard and read but here in Illinois I know several peops who the state says were over paid last time (and are supposed to pay it back) and my daughter had her ue stopped because she didn’t make enough in the correct time frame ( i saw that paperwork)

I do agree the 75,000 was too high, I thought 55,000 was a better cut off, still generous but not so high that we should expect that person to have savings for the long term
