Unemployment payments
Stop the number of appeals for unemployment, there should be two appeals and no payments should be expected to be paid back. If you are granted unemployment you should not be expected to pay it back if you lose the last appeal.
Why is this important?
People are approved for unemployment and if the employer fights it you get 3 appeals the worker usually wins the first two and collects unemployment in the meantime and then normally loses the last appeal and then has to pay the money back and if he/she wants to appeal again they have to file in court and pay. I have been affected by this personally and all evidence showed I was entitled to my unemployment.but still lost the 3rd appeal.
