OP, unlike some of the posters here, I do not spend my worklife dealing with benefits and such, but I can tell you this. Having had at least four or five major surgeries in my adult life (heart, breast cancer, brain tumor, etc.) I will tell you that what you are thinking about, post trauma, is...

With or without an attorney, if you do not push any further, you are overpaid, exactly the amount they say you are overpaid in the overpayment determination. This is an agency, not a court of law. If you think they made a mistake, there's no other possible chance to correct it except the appeal...

At this point, the hearings are over, and it is not the job of the board of review, it doesn't listen to much new information.possibly they will be correcting a typo in the decision or overpayment letter. That date is not, as I said, nearly as important as the actual amount of money this...

An attorney could not make any difference in this situation at this point that I can see. I agree that labor department attorneys can sometimes help people in unemployment systems hearings, but I still maintain there is nothing an attorney in the appeals process can do that you cannot do for...

I do not understand this. There is no separate division of "federal" unemployment which is going to tell you you have an overpayment, that information would come from the state's system. In all unemployment, all money, state and federal are administered distributed and adjudicated by the state...

No matter what state you are in FILE THAT APPEAL! You do not need to make any kind of response to the reasons given or make an argument for your eligibility for benefits, just say, 'I wish to file an appeal. " When you start discussing the overpayment with a person after the last appeal is...

Honestly, in the last two years, all the info you want to dig up is off the table. The workload and procedures of the unemployment system in every state was turned on its ears to the point the people working there didn't have a clue. And hearings as such, regarding eligibility, just did not...

Very good point, zig. Yes, what has happened has happened, I do not, still yet, think this is about YOUR eligibility for benefits, this is about the employer not wanting to be charged for your benefits. Therefore, whether or not the appeals hearing referee decides to give them a non-charge or...

It is never a good idea to try to get things related to unemployment insurance from a former employer. Remember, they are not trying to help YOU a bit, they are trying to say they either had a valid reason to terminate you (no charge to their account) or that you voluntarily quit their...

Yes, I have a further input. A legal aid does not know any more about unemployment insurance that anybody else. So don't waste seeking someone who is actually a lawyer, thinking they're going to know any more about the unemployment system than a layman. This is not something they study in law...

I worked for many years for the Department of Labor, getting people jobs, working with employers, and working with people who had lost their jobs. I even spent some quality time closing businesses as manufacturing went into its death throes in the United States, and things have really changed...

Bingo here on the thing of the employer complaining about their account being charged. As far as whether you qualified or not, in the time of pandemic U.I., that's not an issue. This is, actually not about you. There was all this money coming in, they were giving it out with complete disregard...
