In an nutshell, my wife was permanently laid off from her job back in April. And ever from the start, she has had nothing but problems dealing with the Michigan unemployment agency. 2 main problems were that they said they were not supposed to pay her for 2 weeks because her severance was 2 weeks pay. The thing about that is, she turned over all her stubs and info regarding her job loss and they never raised any flags or said anything then, but 3 weeks later they sent her a letter saying she fraudulently collect for those two weeks and they would withhold money from future payments until it was paid back.
Then they send her a letter saying she fraudulently collect her first weeks pay because she was not going to work that week anyway. This is in reference to her having a scheduled dr. appointment on a Monday (she was let go the next day). They are trying to say that due to her missing work that Monday for a Dr's appointment, that she was not going to work the rest of that week, therefor she should not have sought pay for it. This obviously was not the case at all, she even got a letter from the Dr where she had the appointment stating she was only in for a procedure and was able to return to work the following day. My wife spent over 15 minutes on the phone with someone from the agency trying to explain over and over again that she was willing and able to work that week, the lady ended up calling my wife ignorant and hanging up on her.
Now today she got a letter from state of michigan that says she must appear before an administrative judge in Detroit on July 2nd to determine if she will lose benefits, be fined, and or charged with fraud, Her and I are so upset over this shit right now we dont know what to do or expect. Were worried this hearing will be totally one sided and she will ended up screwed over. Any input?
Thanks,
