(12 posts)Thank you for one of the most intelligent responses I have gotten to date.
The problem is NATIONWIDE btw.
The error that was REFUTED with that appeal victory was published in a Federal Program Letter for EUC08 sent to ALL States on August 15,2008 in UIPL 23-08 Change 1, Q&A #7 under section D. Monetary Eligibility (Multiple EUC Claims violates three federal regulations at 20 CFR 615).
Most people just throw things and call me a liar or worse.
I did not intend to stumble across this huge mess nor be at this place and time right before the election. The government set the stage and has played it out right to here and now:
That threat is not legal at all. The DOL's own website clearly states they have NO AUTHORITY in ANY state determination matter (especially the precedent request for THE CASE that exposed a federal DOL policy implementation mistake in the EUC08 program). How can they threaten the ENTIRE STATE with the loss of the EUC08 program, over my appeal precedent request? Unchecked Abuse of Authority at the corrupt Department of Labor with no IG (none appointed for four years)?
It comes from the same agency, the Employment & Training Administration, that ignored the appeal victory that refuted the example they provide in the 2/7/12 letter (that is the Multiple EUC Claim error I refute by that appeal victory). They intend to enforce their "mistake" over the appeal victory that "actually follows the REAL law" from Title 20 Chapter V Part 615 (to protect themselves).
I would prefer the US Government stop ignoring its oversight duties in order to avoid lengthy, wasteful and expensive court action. Laws and Regulations stipulate that they should have acted to investigate. These letter proves otherwise I think. They want to drag this out as long a possible. Guilty parties use this legal tactic when they have no other choice. They could easily refute me in court if I were wrong and they were right correct? Court action just further delays the emergency aid meant for the unemployed that was denied for almost four years now to millions....
I requested that California CUIAB Case A0-265448 be made a precedent 10/21/11+.
I filed a complaint with the federal Department of Labor Office of Inspector General against the federal DOL Employment & Training Administration (source of the implementation error=Robert Wagner Chief of Special Benefits) (November 2011+).
I filed a Recovery Fraud complaint with the Recovery Accountability & Transparency Board against the federal Department of Labor and their OIG (March 2011+ in RATB-2011-DOL-9DF2506-0).
While the 2/7/12 and 2/14/12 letters were going on behind my back (until FOIA revealed this information July 2012+), I was WAITING FOR A RESPONSE to the Precedent Request, to the DOL OIG investigation request and the Recovery Fraud Complaint.
I never got one, except the DOL OIG on 2/17/12 (!) telling me they would not investigate (third refusal in six months and just after the 2/7 AND 2/14 letters?). The actual response is found in the letter that prove that numerous state and federal officials conspired to commit fraud in these letters to protect themselves (and enforce their MISTAKE on the State of California despite the law and the appeal victory that refutes them). Their intent was to ignore my request and cover this up in those letters (2/7 and 2/14/12).
They all "say" that they obey Federal Regulations for Extended Benefits, Inspector General Act Oversight, Improper Payments Act Oversight ad Recovery Act Oversight. But, the letters above prove they CONSPIRED to SUBVERT ALL OF THIS OVERSIGHT to protect themselves by trying to cover up my appeal victory (at least squash the precedent so nobody else would get help against a government mistake). I have directly challenged them to provide the same "legal backing" for their EUC08 implementation, as I did to refute them in court. They have declined. Repeatedly.
I am sad to report that the very administration running for office, may be involved more than you all would like to find out (all I know is what you see here below):
THAT was the response to me making a complaint and precedent request with the CUIAB after I won my appeal, to the DOL OIG complaint, to the Recover Fraud Complaint, and to the months of attempts I have made to get ANY ANSWER out of our government in my effort to petition them to redress this serious grievance that affects billions of ARRA dollars and millions of unemployed struggling workers and families. These other documents from FOIA above all LINK the White House to that memorandum and the events coming afterwards that Dale Zielger and Betty Castillo refer to: contact with the the State of California in the 2/7/12 letter father above.
Something scary rotten seems to be going on yes?
I must stress. I won my appeal. My case stands despite these efforts against me. They never took the case to court, but squashed the precedent without informing me. The appeal victory that restored $2786 ARRA dollars denied over 26 weeks due to this federal error, stands despite the 2/7/12 letter saying the "decision violates federal law". All the "decision" violates is a historic "FEDERAL MISTAKE" that they intended to cover up. I have had numerous supportive determinations for EUC08 based on the appeal decision that supported 20 CFR 615 regulations over the DOL implementation errors ("multiple euc claims" . If it violates federal law...why haven't they taken it before a judge since?
All I want to do is help the other unemployed who got screwed out of their EUC08 benefits like I was, by the same error I beat in court, that our government REFUSES to acknowledge. I am working on the last attempts to get the government to respond, investigate and repair this problem (with the FBI and DOJ right now). I think they intend to cover this up and get away with it if they can. MANY law firms have been and are being contacted for what may be a historic class action suit against the feds if they force it that way (maybe they could just obey the laws that they WROTE). The media is SILENT on ALL sides. Nobody can refute my evidence.
All that stands in the way is one tired unemployed ex-union worker who has voted liberal and democratic his whole life. All I have gotten so far in return has been to watch the decline of western civilization unfold before my eyes. I am horrified at the lack of investigative reporting. I am appalled at the treatment of the unemployed victims of this recession (many of them VETERANS whom we have already abused for a decade+). I cannot believe that the White House I had so much hope in could be involved. But WHY ELSE were they notified about my appeal case that prevailed on 10/20/11? (both on the 18th and 21st by Dale Zielger of the DOL).
The unemployed "have no power" in the governments eyes. So we must sue them to obey the law. Great country isn't it? No help from the DOJ, nor FBI either. Nobody is protecting the citizens nor watching the billions of ARRA dollars spent so far. Government protects itself FIRST above US.
Meanwhile these criminals, who have committed ARRA fraud to hide their historic EUC08 implementation errors, walk free, while millions of unemployed struggle to survive without the emergency designated funds they were promised BY LAW:
Robert Wagner - Chief of Special Benefits DOL
Suzanne Simonetta - Legislature Chief Division of Unemployment DOL
Dale Ziegler - Unemployment Insurance Division DOL
Gay Gilbert - Employment & Training Administration DOL
Hilda Solis - Head of the Department of Labor DOL
Eder Marcus - DOL OIG
Robert Coyle - DOL OIG
Freddie Howell - DOL OIG
Daniel Petrole - DOL OIG
Donald Cox - RATB
Pam Harris - California EDD
Robert Dresser - California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board
Alberto Roland - California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board
Mark Woo Sam - California Workforce
Marty Morgenstern - California Workforce
(all are free and still collecting a paycheck from uncle sam and you are footing the bill with your taxes for their malfeasance in office and ARRA fraud, abuse, waste and harm being committed against our Economy and Citizens while nobody except me investigates. Most of these individuals have "lawyer'd up" and told me so in writing. Recent FOIA attempts have been violated, but the last round they accepted showed around 50+ documents per agency being redacted due to "attorney client privilege" .
Something should be done (in addition to my securing legal counsel and helping other claimants go to superior court starting November 1, 2012):
