I am in TX, and had been unemployed for 4 months when I got a part time job to help extend my unemployment benefits. Turns out the employer was very crooked. During the interview, he said he would like to pay me cash under the table so I could still remain on unemployment. I should have turned around and walked out, but instead I insisted that I be put on payroll just as my friend had (he got me the job) They said he would do so after returning from a week long vacation. Four weeks in and four pay periods of cash, I asked after each check. I quit shortly afterward, but not before reporting all such activities to unemployment.
