Has anyone ever heard about this happening after being fired from a job?
A close friend told me recently that her husband is going to have to pay back his unemployment, which sounds super illegal and fishy to me.
Tried googling about this and the only info I could find was it can happen in the case where they overpay you, but according to my friend it’s more than just being overpaid.
For more context, the husband was fired from a shitty job for no real reason (we’re in an at will employment state). He was able to file and was accepted for unemployment that he was on for a few months while finding a new job. Now his old job is trying to claim that he quit and was not fired.
I’m curious how this comes back around to them now, perhaps due to Tax season?
Is that even legal or possible for a past employer to claim or is my friend getting screwed?
