Thought I had unemployment, but I missed some appointment I did not even now about until it was to late, ( I got the appointment in the mail the day of the appointment) so now they are taking my entire check to pay back what I have already drawn. How can they use funds for unemploy to pay back what is owed from unemploy, this does not make sense, because the same money they are claiming I have no right to is being used to pay back the money they say I have no right to?
Talking to them is an exercise in futility, because they just repeat the same story without hearing what I have to say about it. So in a nutshell they are collecting the funds paid by my old employers without giving it to me. This smells of red herring that has been sitting out in the sun for days. Well, it has most certainly ruined my outlook and caused so much anxiety and depression I can't think straight. So frustrated mentally I can't even figure who to go to, for fear that I will make this even worse (every time I do anything to aleiviate this, it gets worse, to the tune of 4K now, up from 425.00 that I started with, I feel I cannot win, and the tactic is to force me to give up, it is working). So now I am unemployed through no fault of my own, (company went out of business without warning) and the money I am supposed to get to help me till I do get work is causing more financial burden, I am worse off than I was before I drew the money! But they are still getting the unemployment from my old employers, which they in turn use to pay back what they claim I owe. I cannot appeal by phone, and the people on the phone claim I have not appealed but I have sent in everything they required four times now. The last time I mailed in the origenal documents they requested, not thinking to make copies, so now I have nothing to show. Close to eviction, selling everything I have to stay alive. What am I supposed to do know?
This all started with being honest about not being able to look for work one week, and not going to an appointment that was a reschedule of a previous one due to thier being closed because of flooding. The people on the phone speak down to me, although for 20 years I worked and never drew unemployment, they speak not as professionals but like I am a bad person milking society. I earned this, but people who did not earn a penny can claim and win because they have no qualms about lying. This is wrong all the way around. The added Fed money I did not get on my pay until months after it had been approved, no back pay or interest paid to me, but now they are charging me interest on money I don't even owe legally!
