What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
I live and work in NH. In 2008 I filed a claim agianst an employer, (Company 1), for unemployment benefits of which I received benefits from. Through an appeal that employer won his case against my claim and it was determined I received benefits I was not entitled to and had to now pay back in the amount of $822.00. I made a payment arragement with Department of Unemployment and began to pay back the monies. I did not dispute the judgement.
Later in 2009, I became unemployed again from ANOTHER company, (Company 2) due to their closing down and I filed for benefits against them of which I was determined to be eligible. I received 15 weeks of payments and made 15 payments out of those checks automatically through unemployment to repay the past amount I owed thus reducing the previous overpayment amount weekly.
In September, NH Unemployemnt went through some computer changes and it kicked back some errors with my account. It was discovered that when I filed my new claim with, (Company 2); they inadvertantly included monies I had earned from the previous company, (Company 1) in caluculating my eleigibility benefit amount for my claim with Company 2.
I had already been determined to not be eligible for any of those monies earned by Company 1 and had a payment arrangement in affect to pay them back! Now this means the benefit amount I was already determined eligible for with Company 2 was now calculated in error and they are telling me I am liable to pay them all monies back in total of an additional $885.00 over the original $822.00!! Can they do this to me? How is it my fault they miscalculated my benefits when they had a payment arrangement the whole time to pay back the benefits I wasn't eligible for? Why would it be my fault they pay me based on that ineligible income? How can I win this case against the State? I plan to appeal their decision obviously...
