a mistake at the unemployment office
If things could get any worse for some, the State Division of Unemployment Assistance mistakenly sent checks totaling $3.4 million to 4,159 out-of-work residents who’d exhausted their benefits, thanks to a glitch in the office’s archaic computer system, the Herald has learned.
Officials have yet to notify the hardluck recipients of the gaffe. Someone's head should roll on this and just exactly how will the State recover money from the un employed?

I certainly hope they don't really expect to take the money back. Their mistake, their problem. How can you expect someone with no income to give back something they have already spent?
They better not come looking to me to pay them back, can not get blood out of a stone. How do I know if I am one of these people Jim? Any insite on what happens if I am?
From what I've read, they will notify those who have gotten the money by mail. And if anyone thinks the State should get that money back from un employed please weigh in. It's their mistake... and if they can't keep track of those millions, who's to say they can keep track of anything else.
