Crap. If this is true, how does this affect me??

When H got fired in November, somehow he ended up being able to collect unemployment.  I got CS.  He started a new job the end of Jan, beginning of Feb sometime.

I had surgery last Tuesday so I wasn't up and around to go to my parents or school to check my bank account.  I just checked today and there was a deposit made again on 3/7 from unemployment.  There was 3 made while he was working, but he said that some were behind and he was owed them.

I haven't talked to him in a bit, but is it possible that he's collecting and getting a regular paycheck?  I would figure that the u/e would have stopped by now.  The money came from a u/e check the end of Feb.

I don't want to be owing back money if this is all wrong.  We have a CS modification hearing on Monday so I'm guessing they would know this right?

    The part about him saying they owed him is a little odd to me. When my dad was on unemployment a year ago, it took them 17 weeks to get everything straightened out. When they did, they sent him a rather large check and he was completely caught up. I'm not sure if it's differs by state though.

    Yes, they normally send a large check to make up for the claims that are filed before it's approved. However, you file a weekly unemployment claim on a Sunday for the previous week. I guess it would be possible that he filed a bunch of claims at one time, but I would most certainly be calling and double checking that before I spent the money.

    I know he won't tell the truth.  He's an addict so I know he needs all the money he can get.

    I'm going to put the money on the side and wait til Monday and ask at the hearing.  I figure maybe he can help.  I do not want to pay back his foolishness.

    I hope for your sake you get to keep it!  You will do a lot more good with it than he will.  I know how it is with addicts.... pathological effing liars.

    I would call your CS caseworker and ask him/her as well. Try to make sure it's documented that you were concerned it may not be legit.

    More than likely you'll keep the money and if it is a fraudulant unemployment claim they are going to go after the fraudster.  If he blew all the UE money at radio shack or a video game store they aren't requesting the money back form the stores.  He's responsible for it.  CS is considered a legal debt.  So just as if he had a judgement against him for a defaulted debt or defaulted College Loans and they were being garnished out of his wages...the UE office isn't going after them to repay only HIM.

    If it makes you feel better ask the case worker/mediator but I doubt they'd know.
