I recently received a shocking notice from the unemployment office claiming that I was overpaid by $3500 and that I made over six figures last year. This is completely false. A few weeks before the fall semester started, I was laid off from my full-time job, but I was still working part-time as a server at a burger joint on weekends and occasionally during the week. I was eligible for unemployment benefits and was claiming between $250 and $350 a week, which was barely enough to get by. In December, I managed to secure a full-time job while still attending classes, so I stopped claiming benefits. Now, out of nowhere, I get this notice stating that my average earnings for about 12 weeks were $2200 a week, with the highest week being $3400. If that were true, I would be earning over $100,000 a year, which is a total joke because I don’t even come close to that amount. My biweekly paychecks are nowhere near those figures, and as a server making $2.13 an hour, my actual earnings after taxes are minimal. I was lucky to make $400 a week at my part-time job. I'm really stressed out because they are saying I owe this money and could face jail time! I have all my pay stubs as proof, but I’m unsure how to proceed. They suggested I call, but I’m not sure what to expect or what I should prepare for. Has anyone else gone through something similar?
