3. I've called them several times

But of course, it's never with a person who can make a decision, so it's been a waste of time.

Here's what I've told them. I did everything according to the rules. I'm a freelance writer, or as they term it, a gig worker. I contacted them several times while applying for unemployment and when applying for extensions. I had them look over the paperwork to make sure I did everything correctly and that I was qualified to receive the payments. In other words, I wasn't trying to cheat. They said everything was in order.

Then in August I was notified my unemployment was being cut off and I owed them over $13,000! I've been battling them ever since. The amount somehow was reduced to $7,900. But I still supposedly owe it. Even though it was their screw up! Go figure.
