I was audited in June of 2013 I collected unemployment the years of 2009 and 2010 I got a letter saying I was over paid I donโt know how much yet, my discharge in bankruptcy was November of 2011, if there is any overpayment do I need to pay this? Also in one of the letters I received, it says if you are a debtor in an ongoing bankruptcy case or have a debt discharged in a bankruptcy case this document is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an attempt to collect your overpayment. Please provide the department the information in writing concerning your ongoing bankruptcy case or your discharge debt at the following address.
I believe the document answers this question. if you owed money for the over payment from before your bankruptcy was filed, then just send the creditor a copy of your bankruptcy discharge. If you owed money for over payment after the bankruptcy was filed, you did not get any benefit to do this as a result of your bankruptcy.
Did you provide the bankruptcy information? Did you list the over-payment in you case documents? Are they alleging fraud? You should contact your attorney if you had one.
Well clearly, the first thing you want to do is provide the department with information about your bankruptcy.? If any of the overpayment occurred after you filed, you will probably have to pay that much, at least, back.
There are a number of factors that will determine whether this was included in your bankruptcy and/or discharged. Visit with a local attorney regarding the specific facts of your case to find out for certain.
