Q: I tried and got denied trying to cancel my unemployment insurance claim ,I met all the criteria except child support int
Intercepted although I did not spend or cash the money ,they say I was paid even though
A:
In California, unemployment insurance (UI) benefits are considered as income and can be subject to child support intercepts. This means if you have an outstanding child support obligation, part or all of your UI benefits can be taken to satisfy that debt. The fact that you did not spend or cash the money is not relevant in this context; what matters is that the benefits were issued to you.
If your UI claim was denied or your benefits were intercepted for child support, you should receive a notice explaining the decision. Carefully review this notice as it will provide important information about why the action was taken and your rights to appeal or dispute the decision.
You have the right to appeal the denial of your unemployment claim. This process typically involves submitting a written appeal and may require attending a hearing where you can present your case. It is important to adhere to the deadlines and procedures outlined in the denial notice to ensure your appeal is considered.
Consulting with a legal professional experienced in unemployment and family law can provide you with guidance specific to your situation. They can assist in navigating the appeals process and advise on any steps you can take regarding the child support issue. Remember, each case is unique, so getting advice tailored to your specific circumstances is crucial.
