Regarding the reasons I& #39;m upset right now: the department of the state that handles unemployment has come to the conclusion that I don& #39;t deserve unemployment benefits anymore.
And that wouldn& #39;t be terrible, except that they figured, on September 14th, that I should stop receiving benefits on May 10th, a whole 128 days ago.

I answered everything truthfully so that if they& #39;d deny my benefits, it& #39;d happen sooner rather than later i.e. When I was prepared
So now they figure I owe them the menial sum of just over $10,000 because I& #39;m at fault for the overpayment, from their perspective.

So uh, yeah, great news to wake up to.
I& #39;ll try and appeal this, though I doubt much will change, and I& #39;m sure they& #39;ll cite the influx in unemployment claims to rationalize not looking at my responses until now. I get it, but also I just can& #39;t believe it.
If you want to help me with groceries in the meantime, you& #39;re more than welcome to donate to my ko-fi or PayPal dot me. Otherwise, if you know anyone else who& #39;s relying upon unemployment in Washington state, just tell them to be wary. If you were laid off, you& #39;re probably fine.
I& #39;ll probably end up making a gofundme once I have more information, but I haven& #39;t received a bill in earnest yet, just a nice little button asking me to fork over ten thousand dollars so I& #39;m waiting to see how often I have to pay into that
