Um, that makes no sense if you're talking about Federal taxes. It's the same for all of us, one state doesn't get something different. All unemployment income has to be claimed on federal taxes. Federal taxes should be taken out on each payment too.
Are you sure they were just talking about your state taxes?
Just wondering. Does your state allow you to work part time and still get the full weekly payout?
In Ohio, if you make less than your payout, they give you the difference. If you go over, they automatically cancel your claim and you have to re-open it. If you have a "week of no work after a week of work" which is no work after a week of some work, then you again have to re-open your claim. Total PITA as the website is usually down anymore and you have to go through the crappy automated phone service which can take an HOUR!!!

WOW. Sorry to hear that. As much as I'm sure you love him, you and her needed to call the police and hold him accountable. You can still do that. Prove to him that there are limits to what he can get away with and show him that his actions have consequences.
Sure, it may seem extreme, but it might scare some sense into him. Then she and him both will have to get therapy. His problem isn't just HIS problem. It's also her's and is because of what she's taught him as acceptable (being that she's the custodial parent).
No offense, but it seems like she's one of those "giving in too much" parents and when she finally pulls the plug, he's not been trained (yes, just like a pet) enough to understand why he's not allowed to get away with it.
Patriotism is as fierce as a fever, pitiless as the grave, blind as a stone, and irrational as a headless hen.

Real sorry too hear that man.
Every boy needs guidelines and a male role model to enforce them. Period. Women just can't get the respect from a young buck that's trying to figure out the sex and power thing. He's gotta know he can't get away with this shit.
Lead by example, and consistent discipline is key.
I've seen the parents that go too far with the 'friends' or 'equals' things with their kids, then when they try to come down on them, the kid doesn't understand the roles and flips out. Not to say that's your case, but the other is that he learned the violence thing from example, which I'd hope isn't the case.
Sounds like you need to be the heavy 24/7 right now, then ease into the trust. Cops are a fear thing maybe, but what most kids want is security; knowing that you'll be there through the tough love.
Good luck.
