Unemployment Overpayment Payback While Going Through a Divorce
My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Illinois
- - - Updated - - -
My boyfriend was unemployed duri g the marriage, he hurt himself and sued and wen he won the case unemployment is making him pay back 13k . He is going through divorce now and pays his child support no questions asked, but is worried about paying child support when he start paying this overpayment back. Is there any way to get an abatement. Or supena his wife to have her name put on the payments as they were married and gladly spent that money as well?

You don't suggest that his ex- pocketed the money from the settlement. You've given no reason to believe his ex- has any responsibility for his having to pay back the unemployment he appears to concede he received due to fraud. Are there additional facts that you didn't share?
He can consult the unemployment agency about whether he might qualify for forgiveness or for a longer repayment plan.
