Dont do what I did, unemployment/Alaska

 

I worked in Alaska last year for about six months, a fish processing plant, Seward, Alaska. 


It was a small place maybe 25 to 35 people. We processed Halibut and Black Cod and some other fish. Over all it was a learning experience and im glad I did it.


Anyway as the season ended, I was sent home, and laid off. So I signed up for unemployment, in Iowa. I used the library for internet to sign up for my benefits  


All went well until they said my IP adress from the library said I was in MN which was not the case 


So I now owe 3000,00USD 2000 for the unemployment and 1000 for the fine, which is 50%. 


Anyhow i am disputing this, I may not be able to prove anything so may owe the money back 


The upshot is I can pay in installments i tel its paid off. Which is nice. I can pay as little as 50 bucks maybe less.


Anyways things are changing fast in America. More and more people are moving to escape the Matrix so to speak. 


I wont leave until i get more clarity on my medical bill I recieved from getting hurt on the job in Alaska,  its over 10K so its a pain in the neck 


As of today I dont have a job to make any kind of payments  


This situation is common in North America so not that uncommon. 


Anyway thanks for reading.
