Yeah so, I filed for a continuance....faxed it twice AND emailed it.....they claim they never got it and had the hearing without me. Does it sound fishy NOW? Does it sound as if they DON'T want to pay me? Sure does to me.
Not sure what I'm supposed to do now except hire an attorney, that I can't afford. |

Did they get around to saying what the finding of the hearing was?
You should have the fax and email logs available as proof of lodgement.
That's why I suggested a pro bono lawyer. They only get paid if they win. |

Yes, the finding was ineligible and I they also said that the overpayment was a "non-fault" overpayment with no penalty weeks. They keep bringing up this "free from direction or control over the performances of his services as a Barber" which is entirely untrue as I wasn't even licensed to work by myself until September. They are grasping obviously and shame on me for not harassing them about my continuance.
I can't find a pro bono lawyer, other then legal aid that will not even talk to me unless I have a CONFIRMED court date. No lawyers will touch this in this area I guess because of the liability with it being an unemployment hearing. Lucky me I can appeal again, but it's just taking entirely too long and now I've been forced to take a job that is paying me 1/4 of what I was making before unemployment and 1/2 of what I was making on unemployment and now I can't go back. Is this why they do this kind of crap??
If anyone knows any pro bono lawyers in my are that would be willing to take this on, let me know! |

I'm in the wrong country to find a lawyer for you, but if anyone else knows a PA pro bono, can you drop us a line?
Only thing I can think of otherwise is if you can contact your local state/Fed rep or senator. They won't be ignored, at least. |
