Tito Ortiz filed for unemployment despite still serving as mayor pro tem of Huntington Beach
UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz has come under scrutiny after filing for unemployment in the city of Huntington Beach, Calif. The problem? Ortiz is city council member and the mayor pro tem of Huntington Beach, positions he's held — and been paid for — since December.
Public records viewed by the Orange County Register show that Ortiz filed for unemployment on Feb. 20, stating his last day of work was Feb. 9. Under "reason for separation," Ortiz wrote “Still working part-time or on-call – related to the coronavirus (COVID-19).”
Ortiz claiming to "still" work part time is strange, since the Register reports that city council positions are only part time work. (Mayor pro tem, which is essentially a vice mayor, is largely a ceremonial position with no extra .) Council members receive paychecks every two weeks for just under $800, which Ortiz never stopped receiving.
"He's been receiving the same amount of wages and hours," Carr said. "It's my understanding that city council members are not eligible for unemployment, particularly when they are receiving their full salary," explained Carr, who is concerned that Ortiz may have committed fraud with his unemployment claim.
Ortiz also owns two Huntington Beach businesses — a gym and an athletic clothing store — and a $4 million home. The application for unemployment benefits warns that making false statements could lead to penalties.
Ortiz won a seat on the Huntington Beach city council in the Nov. 2020 election, and was selected as mayor pro tem on Dec. 7, the same day he was sworn in. This unemployment claim is just the latest in a series of bizarre and completely avoidable controversies that Ortiz has gotten himself into since then.

Possible fraud
When contacted by NBC Los Angeles, Huntington Beach Mayor Kim Carr confirmed that Ortiz had not stopped being paid."He's been receiving the same amount of wages and hours," Carr said. "It's my understanding that city council members are not eligible for unemployment, particularly when they are receiving their full salary," explained Carr, who is concerned that Ortiz may have committed fraud with his unemployment claim.
