Supposedly I owe Unemployment $13,000!

[bif]

They stopped my payments about a month ago. Then I saw that I owe 13 grand. I submitted a protest with an explanation and waiting to hear back. Anyone else facing this? Suggestions?

1. Why does it say you owe that?

What was your explanation? I hadn’t heard of this and do not want any surprises.
