An apparently unnamed woman, after being laid off from a law firm in New York city earlier this year has started a blog that reveals local restaurant offers and recommenadations. Unfortunately for her, her unemployment benefits have been suspended until the New York Department of Labor rules on whether her income from the blog (with revenue from adsense advertisements) can be classified as residual income. If it is considered self-employment income, she will have her unemployment benefits reduced. So far in six months she has received $238.75, which she was told by the New York Department of Labor would not affect her unemployment check.

She has allegedly pulled the google adsense advertisements from her blog, but when I checked just a few minutes ago, they were still on the site. (They may take some time to remove after she had initially asked, however).

It sounds to me like an issue that someone or a group of someones should take up and start a petition campaign to keep this income "residual." If someone does that, please let me know.
