<WFUD_Request>Dear Governor,

Please help me. Time is of the urgency. Yesterday, I received a notice from the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce that I have a $4,228.28 overpayment of the approximately $6,800 I was paid while I was unemployed - in fact, while both my wife and I were unemployed. They are turning this over for collections, which may severely damage my credit.

They agency is claiming I defrauded the State when I failed to report unrealized earnings from a course I was facilitating as an Adjunct Professor of Theology with Liberty University. In otherwords, they claim I should have reported $275 a week for a course that only paid me after 12-weeks. I have tried several times to communicate with the Agency that no one ever instructed me to treat my earnings with Liberty in this manner - it was not a message conveyed during a class, a letter, an email...NOTHING. I am a very compliant individual and I respect authority. Had I been told, I would have done so. I even reported receipt of $55 given to me as a gift from a member of the church. 

I should have reported the money received from Liberty on the week it was electronically deposited into my account. That was a simple oversight and should have resulted in a $345 overpayment...but not more than $4,200!

Frankly speaking, this is ludicrous! Had I acted as the Agency is telling me I should have, my wife and I would have had to live on +/- $65 per week. When I asked the reviewing officer at the Unemployment Office how I was suppose to live on that, he actually told me, "You should have budgeted your money."

Really!!

Please help us. The Lord has tried us over the last few years: both my wife and I lost our jobs in 2015, I suffered a stroke in May of 2015, and I have been unable to find a church that can afford to pay their Pastor a salary. The last thing I need right now is to have to pay back more than 60% of the unemployment I received from South Carolina. 

Please help me.
