    The Double Dippers of the Deep State
    No that is not a rock band. That is the hundreds of Federal Bureaucrats who collected a paycheck for working from home while also collecting pandemic unemployment cash .

    In the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alone, nearly 2,000 ineligible employees received wage assistance designated for unemployed Americans.
    366 of those ineligible DHS officials were paid overtime during the period they were approved.

    A report by the IG document this theft .

    OIG-22-73 - More than $2.6 Million in Potentially Fraudulent LWA Payments Were Linked to DHS Employees' Identities


    Senator Joni Ernst in a letter to the IG said it best

    It is appalling for anyone fortunate enough to have the reliability of a government paycheck to take advantageof financial assistance intended to provide a lifeline to Americans who lost their jobs or were unable to work asa result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These misbehaved bureaucrats have also tarnished the reputation of theother dedicated civil servants, many of whom worked long hours in essential jobs during the pandemic.

    The DOJ has already prosecuted employees in other agencies like the IRS ,Amtrak ,the Postal Service .Senator Ernst wants a more thorough investigation .
    The IGs office has also found incidents where this abuse /theft occurred at the State civil service level too.

    But that's not all . 10s of thousands of Federal employees applied for and received Small Business Administration(SBA) loans even though their status as government employed disqualified them .

    Why did most of this happen ? Lax rules within the Leviathan allowed for self certifying eligibility . That's right a Federal employee looking to double dip only had to self certify that person was eligible.

    When you consider that the feds have shown they cannot keep up with classified docs, then the far less important matter you refer to becomes completely believable. It all comes from the idea that the feds need not actually PAY for what they want since monopoly money is always available.
