I filed an unemployment benefits claim a couple years ago. When filing the claim, the labor department rep asked for a list of my recent employers. I gave the department of labor all thirteen of my recent employers' information, some of which I work for as an "independent contractor".
In accessing the claim, the department of labor wrongfully taxed one of my 10-99 employers for the duration of my claim. I had no knowledge of this and there was no way I could.
Today, more than a year after the claim in question has expired, the employer is taking me to ALJ labor court for a determination of wrongfully paid benefits. The paperwork says that if it is determined that I was wrongfully paid benefits, I will be obligated to repay any benefits received. Whhaaaaat?
Will I be held accountable for a clerical error at the DoL?
Thanks in advance.
