When will UI benefits resume after overpayment deduction? Do I need to set up a payment plan?

I've been there, buddy. Usually, once the overpayment is deducted, your benefits should start up again automatically. Have you gotten any recent updates from the unemployment office about your payment status? They should've sent you something explaining the process.

The system is so messed up, I swear. I had an overpayment issue last year and it took FOREVER to sort out. Hang in there, OP. 🙄

Ok, let me break this down for you based on my experience and what I've learned: 1. Overpayment deductions are usually automatic. You don't typically need to set up a payment plan yourself unless you're no longer receiving benefits. 2. The deduction amount can vary. Sometimes they take a percentage, other times they might withhold entire payments until the overpayment is recovered. 3. Benefits should resume once the overpayment is fully recovered. However, the timing can vary. 4. It's crucial to keep an eye on your online account if you have one. Any updates or changes should be reflected there. 5. If you haven't received any communication, definitely reach out to them. Sometimes things fall through the cracks. 6. Keep all documentation related to your claim and the overpayment. You might need it later. 7. If you're facing financial hardship due to the overpayment recovery, let them know. Some states have hardship waivers or can adjust the repayment terms. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

lol welcome to unemployment hell 🔥 where nothing makes sense and everything takes 10x longer than it should 🙃

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Have you checked if theres a way to appeal the overpayment? Sometimes they make mistakes, and you might not actually owe anything.

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting on my benefits to restart for 2 months now after an overpayment issue. The whole system is a joke. 🤡

Pro tip: keep a detailed log of all your interactions with the unemployment office. Dates, times, who you spoke to, what they said. It'll save you a headache later if theres any discrepancies.

Anyone else notice how they're quick to take our money for overpayments but slow af to pay out benefits? 🙄 Make it make sense.
