What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York State
I was receiving unemployment benefits.. I took a job through a temp agency and worked one day at the site. I decided that the job was not for me and wanted to pursue my job search further and the job that I took was not a good fit for me. I called temp agency and left message for recruiter and also emailed him stating that I didn't want to work for that particular place because the job was not a good fit and wanted to pursue my job search further. I did not report the one day that I worked... I wasn't sure if I had to because I quit right after. Needless to say.. unemployment caught wind of this and suspended my benefits for a total of 8 days. Now I received a letter that I am ineligible for benefits and have to pay an overpayment back to them of $2, 580.00. My question is.. should I take the loss or should I bother appealing this decision? And what are my rights concerning this.
