My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Texas
I have been on unemployment since June of 2012. I was hired at a position and when it was time to recertify my unemployment benefits, I did not receive my pay so I marked I was not working. The next recertification, I again marked I was not working. Knowing I was never in trouble before, I knew this was wrong but I did not know how to correct it. When the next certification came I put that I was working and the amount I made. At this point, I was let go from the job so I marked that I was no longer employed there. I was then told to call the unemployment office. I was so petrified that I just went along with the rep and said I just started 2 weeks ago. I have never been on unemployment before and have worked 35 years. The rep told me that now they have to contact the job and I know they are going to find out I started there earlier than I said. I now have no job and am self supporting and need unemployment benefits. I don't know what to do. I have been trying to find a job so I do not need unemployment but with no success. I know that I was wrong for what I did but don't know what to do now.
