Fired Employee Receiving Unemployment...No One Contacted Me from Workforce Comission?

I recently fired an employee for theft (consistely stealing $400-500 from our register's despite being told to stop). He recently came back to collect some things he left behind and was bragging to my employees and me that he is receiving unemployment benefits. Basically he lied to the Workforce Comission and said that he told them that he tested positive for Covid-19 and once he was well tried to get back onto the schedule and that I ignored him and "laid him" off without reason. I have not received anything from the Workforce Comission nor have they contacted me about this. I'm worried my unemployment taxes will go up so what should I do?

First great week!

Hey everyone idk if it's ok to post this but exactly a week ago I started my small candle business and I had only made 12 candles since I thought it would take a while to sell them but I'm sold out and already working on new orders and stock. I'm so damn happy I cried a little today, if you are thinking of starting your small business this is your sign! Do it, do it, do it!

Are there any good marketing resources for small to medium businesses?

I'm pretty experienced in operations, but when it comes to generating new business, converting leads into customers and similar, I am pretty inexperienced and I'd like to learn more about this realm as it is a tangent to operations. I'd like to call in a favor, could you share any resources that have helped you in the past when researching this topic? Thanks in advance.

A red tie, often tied too long. A raised fist, often held high to a supportive crowd. A scowling face. A raised voice. On Wednesday, Donald Trump will leave the White House for the final time as the 45th president of the United States, after four years marked by a deadly pandemic, migrant child separations, widened racial and political divides, complicated global alliances and a Twitter feed that was a direct line to his political base. As the White House reality show ends, Reuters photographer CarlosABarria and reporter Jeff Mason look back at a president who sought the world's attention and got it. See more at our link in bio.

"As I prepare to hand power over to a new administration at noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we started is only just beginning."⁣ ⁣ President Donald Trump Tuesday released a farewell video, calling on Americans to "rise above the partisan rancor," touting some of his administration's greatest accomplishments, and extending “best wishes” to the Biden administration.

Since becoming one of the world’s first destinations to re-open for tourism, Dubai has promoted itself as the ideal pandemic vacation spot. While most countries banned tourists from the U.K. over fears of a fast-spreading virus variant, the city kept its doors open. British tabloids quickly filled with photos of reality TV and soccer stars fleeing wintery lockdowns for Dubai’s bars and beaches; Instagram influencers spotted at raucous yacht parties said their travel was “essential.” Virus infections are now surging to unprecedented levels, but Dubai is doubling-down on encouraging the tourist influx. For those who do die of Covid, Emirates Airlines even offers to pay $1,800 to help cover funeral costs. Link in bio for more. 📷: Giuseppe Cacace/AFP via Getty Images

Tool Rental Idea - Would you use this service?

My wife and I are remodeling our house!! We need tools but don’t want to break the bank at home depot on a tool and in return never use it again. I’m thinking I want to create a service similar to outdoorsy/turo that allows people in my area to rent their tools for a hourly, daily rate. Would any of you benefit from this service?

I applied for a PPP loan through Biz2Credit and just logged onto the portal and noticed I have a loan number assigned. Is that a good sign?

This is/was my first time applying for the PPP and I’m hoping for good news. When I click on the loan number, it only says my application is being reviewed by the SBA so maybe I’m jumping the gun? I also tried to post this question in the r/EIDLPPP group but for some reason I can’t post anything there. Thanks in advance for any Insight!
