Q: What can I do if my boss has misfiled his employee taxes and as a resut, I am being denied unemployment?
I am in Louisiana. My case is going into its final appeal because they made the decision before they saw any of my evidence that I faxed. My boss not only paid in $1,400 to an employee that was fired, which was part of my quarterly income, but then he skipped a quarter of my income. Then he paid me 4,000 on my last quarter falsely which can get me in trouble for "Medicaid Fraud".
A: Most if not all states keep very close tabs on employers who "skip" paying payroll taxes; so the agency you are dealing with is now aware that your employer has violated state and federal laws, thus causing you (and other employees?) to be denied unemployment benefits. Because you mentioned possible trouble regarding "Medicaid fraud" I advise you to retain competent counsel immediately.
