North Carolina Employment Security Commission (ESC) Sends Letters to Claimants Admitting Payment Mistakes. Were You Underpaid? And If You Were Overpaid, Do You Have to Pay the ESC?

The News and Observer reports that many recent North Carolina recipients of unemployment benefits from the North Carolina Employment Security Commission (ESC) received incorrect checks due to accounting errors.

Some recipients were underpaid. Others were overpaid. The ESC says that those who were overpaid can apply for a waiver and have the overpayment forgiven. That would mean that the recipients would not have to pay back the State of North Carolina.

The News and Observer states that deadline for submitting waivers is October 8 - less than two weeks from today.

If you were overpaid and need assistance with submitting your waiver to the ESC, or if you were underpaid and need help obtaining the money you are owed from the ESC, please do not hesitate to email me at richard.d.allen.esq@gmail.com or call me at (919) 886-5005.
