Up to a certain dollar amount it is a mesdemeanor offense - over that amount it is a felony offense. If you feel that you are about to be charged, I would recommend attempting to plea bargain away the charge by offering to make restitution. Might work - might not, but it might save your from a lifetime record.

What will happen if do not report earnings to unemployment?
If you do not report earnings to unemployment it is considered fraud. No worries, they will probably not throw you in jail, however they will require you to pay it back. Most employers send a new hire form to the unemployment office when you are hired, so they are aware that you are now employed. They also report all wages to the unemployment office, which is generally reported a quarter later. They have an integrity team that reviews all of this information, so you may not be contacted now, but be assured they will be in touch with you in the future. They can also suspend your unemployment benefits for periods of time and require that you pay all monies back before getting unemployment in the future.
