Schorr & Associates, P.C. is pleased to announce that as of September 10, 2021, we have reached the milestone of over $1,000,000 in reversed requests for refund of unemployment benefits in 2021.
Many of these refunds followed a very similar pattern. To expedite the payment of benefits, the Department of Labor paid out benefits to thousands of claimants without ever making an initial determination on their claims. The Claimants received their deserved and much needed benefits. Then the Department of Labor made an initial and incorrect determination disqualifying claimants based on incomplete information.
We have been representing these and other frantic and injured claimants on a daily basis, often doing multiple Appeal Tribunal hearings in one day. We have surpassed the $1,000,000 mark for 2021 for refunds reversed with three more months ahead of us. If you or someone you know has received a notice of determination, notice of request for refund, or other disqualification from unemployment, we may be able to help.
