However, the unemployment insurance system was not prepared for the unprecedented demand, and many states were overwhelmed with claims. This led to widespread delays and denials of benefits, leaving many people without a financial lifeline.

In addition to the administrative problems, the unemployment insurance system was also plagued by fraud. Criminals took advantage of the混乱and stole billions of dollars in benefits. This fraud further depleted the resources available to legitimate claimants.

The result of all these problems was that millions of Americans were left without the financial assistance they needed during the pandemic. This led to widespread hardship and poverty, and it also undermined the public's trust in the government.

In Rona Stole Our Relief, journalist Sarah Sunshine provides a meticulously researched expose of the rampant fraud and mismanagement that plagued unemployment insurance programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. This book delves into the stories of individuals whose lives were upended by the pandemic and the systemic failures that left them without a safety net.

Sunshine's reporting is both deeply personal and deeply troubling. She tells the story of a single mother who lost her job and was unable to get unemployment benefits because of a bureaucratic snafu. She also tells the story of a small business owner who was forced to close his doors and was denied benefits because he didn't have enough employees.

These are just two of the many stories that Sunshine tells in Rona Stole Our Relief. Through these stories, she paints a damning picture of how the most vulnerable were abandoned in their time of need.

Sunshine also takes a hard look at the flaws in the unemployment insurance system and the shortcomings of the government's response. She argues that the system is in need of major reform, and she offers a number of specific proposals for how to improve it.

Rona Stole Our Relief is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the American economy. It is also a call to action for reform. We must demand that our government do better to protect the most vulnerable among us.
