only if they catch you but right now nobody cares. My ex boyfriend is collecting his emergency extension from NYC beyond 79 weeks while residing overseas. He has not looked for work in a long time and will not be looking for work in USA at all. he was only employed part time in NY for about 16 months and worked on 1099 but still filed for benefits and received them.
He is now claiming every week fraudulently. They extended it again just recently and he is very happy to have a carefree life for the next 20 weeks. Nobody is checking and nobody cares, so there are pretty much no consequences.
