I want to know how i can obtain my unemployment? My problem is that i gotten punished for 24 or so weeks but i didn’t know that i was being punished. They say i was working a whole month or so and i was filing but the thing about it is i wasnt filing. But i cant prove it and they stopped before the 4 weeks filing. Because i moved since than but in the event.i think they got a few hundred and i jnow its wrong and i should be punished. My question is how can i pay my bills. Is there some way that they can deduct it and make me pay it back? I hate it happened and i do beleave it was my ex wife but i can’t prove it or pay my bills. Is there some way to still be able to get help and they can still get there money back from me and some penalties to get extra or something cause my bills still dont stop and im gonna be homeless.
