What is the name of your state?unemployment wants me to pay back
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had a job through an employment agency in Arkansas. I worked there for 4 months. The place where I was working told me they no longer had any more work for me. I went to the employment agency and told them. I then filed for unemployment The employment agency contested this. They said they did not lay me off. The lady at the umemployment office said that I did not need to keep asking the employment agency for work. I did not as I wanted work in my field and not a low paying job. I won that dispute. They contested again and I lost. I recieved a letter from the unemployment agency saying they overpaid me the total amount they have been paying me. What are my rights and is there much chance I will have to pay back the money. It is aproximately $2500. I acted in good faith and am going to appeal. I just want to know what are some likely scenarios.
Regards Horatio
