theyd prefer the waiver form is signed, so its really just a matter of who you reach via phone as to how easy they can make it for you.
BUT why file an appeal? I mean 1. I DO OWE THE $$$ and 2. if they intend to swap out my weeks, i will come out ahead as i will get EB which i wouldnt have before

so whats the point of filing an appeal? I dont want to appeal it---- i just want them to swap out my year 2 weeks with tier and eb weeks and get me started in EB receiving payments....

thats what i mean! the local offices are completely lost when i say that!
i dont want to appeal it b/c IF and WHEN they swap out my weeks
i should owe $91 and THEN get almost twice as many EB weeks left as i would have without this mess

I apologize, I worded it wrong, I meant to say to a hearing, I am going to file an appeal tomorrow, and am going to look into the earlier posts that were suggested, Thanks.

26 weeks UI
20 weeks Tier 1
6 of 14 weeks Tier 2.
IF you had a normal claim.

with a dead week, and counting til now, thats another 29 weeks youve collected Year 2. bringing forward Year 1 at week 7 of Tier 2, that would use up those 8 weeks, the 13 in Tier 3, the 6 in Tier 4 and the first 2 weeks of EB.
so, you MIGHT have 18 weeks of EB left.

but thats if its a normal full strength claim. and then you have to compare the payments you got this year with last. if they werent terribly different (mine were $11/wk more this year than last), then you should be in that neighborhood of 18 weeks, you would think.
I know shame on me! just got of the phone with raleigh. rep told me that I had $5200 left to draw from. thats about 17 weeks for me. she also told me about the email address for the waiver. Funny I wonder why my local rep told me that I didnt have any funds left or are they adjusting everyone's files constantly. My dad received a letter today and it was off by a few weeks compared to what the rep told him. 20 weeks at first then 13 in the letter.

gotcha. yeah, that all makes sense. i did ask "do you see me filing a waiver and the money NOT being taken back and me still getting my payments?"
"No."
to me that sounds like "all appeals/waivers will fail. we're going to take back the overpayments, regardless."
so i still think theyre going to take 50% and thats that. because i dont think they are sophisticated enough to do it any other way.

i remember now, she even said that that 14th week of Tier 2? well, they FORGOT to add that in to this reprogram the first time. they ran to the end of Tier 3 and THEN added that bonus week.
that may be why i got a small deposit last week in addition to the letters.
so, its still people writing the programs and they can make mistakes.

I had to refile for my 2nd year in June, and since I had not worked I got the "dummy" year where they just pull forward what I had. From what I've seen, this just effect people who started year 2 from Jan 1 to May 26? I haven't recieved a letter, but a buddy of mine who started year 2 in Jan. has. I have 3 kids, and I am just tring to get a heads up on what is going to happen. Is the Jan 1 to May 26th statement I made correct? Should I be OK?

Update: I just checked my claim profile and it says "Benefits Exhausted." And no payment has been scheduled on the payment history page, nor has anything come into my bank account. I filed for unemployment February, 2009. The last contact I had with NCESC I was told I had benefits to the end of November. I was in Tier 3. My current (second) benefit year started 1/31/2010 and runs through 1/29/2011. The only employment I've had since I first filed was some temp work this past summer. What should I do now? Go in to my local office? What do I take with me? Is there any hope the "Benefits Exhausted" may not be true? I am in serious trouble.

True, i do not expect any of the waivers to be approved
makes no sense
i mean to be APPROVED there has to be a legit reason
and i dont see any here
BUT if u read the posts today some people ARE GETTING IT FIXED!
but only if u get thru to a rep in raleigh who KNOWS HOW to MANUALLY swap out the weeks for you!
thats the key!
