have you ever collected unemployment?

Did you collect unemployment? If so did you lie on your paperwork?

Yes.

No.

Yup. During covid. Total was less than $10k.

In which case go down to your local unemployment office and speak with them about it. Same thing happened to my brother and all he had to do was fill out a financial affidavit, send in his tax returns, and wait. They waived the entire amount.

That by definition means you stole from me (and from everyone else who remained solvent for the past three years and was subject to NH state taxation). The least you can do is repay it with restitution.

Wut?

'That by definition means you stole from me (and from everyone else who remained solvent for the past three years and was subject to NH state taxation).'

No it doesn't.

Ok, thanks. Any word on what triggered it?

And again, thanks to NHES. My local office is 35 minutes away.

No idea. The guy at the office said it just happens and he sees plenty of people come in with that same letter saying the owe 20k+ and it’s almost always waived.

Thanks to NH underfunding citizen services for a generation or more. Not NHES.

You don't pay unemployment taxes, employers do.

My son got the same “final notice.” But he never got any earlier notice and the final notice says it is too late to appeal some “determination” that was supposedly made over a year ago that he likewise never received. OP did you ever receive an earlier notice or “determination” from NHES? Incidentally my son only collected benefits for a few months back in 2020 and his claim was completely legit.

The good news is we have no state tax; the bad news is we have no functioning state agencies.

And where do you think they get that money from?

(Hint: prices. Of everything.)

Nope, identical situation. No notice before this. Legit claim, but it was way back during covid. 2020.

Can you DM me? I don’t know how to do that.

If that was true then Massachusetts would have functioning state agencies, but they don't. What they do have are overpaid bureaucrats. I honestly hope people don't think a state income tax would improve NH's state agencies because a state income tax would only create larger state agencies that don't function.

How much does the highest paid state employee in Massachusetts make?

I have no idea. I wouldn't be surprised if the highest paid employee made over $250k. But why wonder about a single person when all the employees of the state of mass are making much much more than their counterparts working in NH.

NH state police make around 50k a year. Mass state police can make over 100k a year with traffic control overtime. NH Congresspersons make less than half of what Mass Congresspersons make. Every state employees income is available to the public. Look it up, check it out.

This hit the fan starting last year. Stayed said they screwed up in most cases and wouldn't demand repayment. Appear. https://www.wmur.com/article/thousands-told-to-repay-unemployment-benefits-that-were-sent-based-on-wrong-information/36304688

$600,000 is my guess

the figures you’re throwing around are bogus

NHSP : $54,500.

MSP : $ 62,300.

These are starting pay before construction details.

From their customers, not you the employee

Did no one persecute you today, and you're feeling lonely? Seriously, what the fuck?

Yep happened to me too and seemed to me as very unprofessional that is comes off as extortionate. Funny thing is I filed the exact same as my coworkers, they got 3+ weeks of unemployment and I only got 1 and now they're demanding it back? It's ridiculous and I'm hoping they drop it. It's not my fault that they screwed up 2 years ago and they screwed up now.

I think you need to check the definition on the word “definition” buddy. You clearly don’t understand how unemployment gets funded.

Oof. That's a lot of unemployment.

That's the base pay. After traffic OT some are making over 100k in Massachusetts.

Employees of one business use their wages as customers of other businesses. Those other businesses have to pay for their unemployment taxes via slightly higher prices, diluting the purchasing power of those employees.

One transaction at a time, everyone in the economy pays taxes, directly and indirectly.

oh I know. NH too if the trooper is motivated. Source?? State Trooper in my family

Yet Massachusetts tax payers are getting an extra payout and NH is going after people that collected their less than livable unemployment.

"Employees across the University of Massachusetts system overwhelmingly topped the list of the state’s highest earners in 2021, starting with Dr. Michael F. Collins, chancellor of UMass Chan Medical School. His overall pay was $1.35 million, including a base salary of $815,738 and $533,371 in other pay, according to state data.

Dr. Terence Flotte, provost and executive deputy chancellor of UMass Chan Medial School, trails behind Collins with an overall pay of $1.11 million, with a base salary of $860,519 and $249,696 in other pay."

They did the same for my SSI benefits when I was not working at all (I had to quit my job because of sexual harassment), finally had an appt to submit my paperwork for the year and they actually wiped it all out. I would definitely go down to talk to them.

Yah its the same as electricity. Congrats you just discovered operational costs.

Electricity is energy. Taxation is just theft. That is the difference.

no u

Taxation provides for roads, maintenance, water that the business needs, get real.

Who does the government pay for all that work? Private contractors. Government is just a pointless inefficient monopolistic middleman that could just as well be cut out.
