Hundreds were sent overpayment notices in Worcester County
Maryland has notified more than 1,300 Worcester County residents that pandemic-era unemployment payments issued in error were not recovered in time – and now the state is saying it needs to get that money back.
About $8.47 million in individual unemployment payments for Worcester County have been flagged for recovery, as the state’s Department of Labor (DLLR) works to recoup more than $807 million in overpayments statewide through its Division of Unemployment Insurance.
Out of 1,369 notices sent to Worcester County residents, the median overpayment was $2,608 and the largest single overpayment tied to a county address was $44,830, according to the results of Public Information Act requests from OC Today-Dispatch to DLLR.
“the largest single overpayment tied to a county address was $44,830” – anyone else wonder what job the “address” was being overcompensated for?
Anyone know how many ppl are registered to vote at the “address”?
Sorry, if you gave the money out, you’re not getting it back. Back in the day that was called Indian giving.
This is a perfect example of how incompetent our government in MD is…..they should get it right the 1st time and not send money that is not supposed to be sent! Now MOORE waste of time and money to get the money back that should have never been sent. Maryland is horrible!
