What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MN. Hello everyone. I am looking for some advise. I have a disability and was releaved of my job (at a Walmart no less. A letter from the home office said they would NOT accomidate me with my restrictions) as I could no longer do the current job according to them. I applied for unemployment and received such and filled out applications. I did NOT receive disability when I was on unemployment and actively looking for work. I had 1 interview in 2+ years. I signed up for Vocational Rehabilitation and they said to apply for disability as no one will hire you. I did and won on appeal at a disability hearing. They awarded back pay which I didn't know they were going to do, so I paid off all CC, dr bills, dentist, fuel bills, etc. Now MN Unemployment wants me to pay back $6101. I have to live on $924 a month and no way, shape or form can pay this back. My wife got her hours cut to 15 per week. I sent in an application to a referral service today as the response I received from an attorney here was that it should be waived due to hardship and potential bankruptcy. I just feel I can't get ahead, I can't even keep up. I've probably spent about $40,000 of my own money on dr bills, surgeries and meds. I am just flat broke and have nothing left to pay on it. Can anyone offer some advise as to if trying to get it waived is a good idea? Thank You in advance.
