Hi! Ended up getting a new job pretty quickly (better job...better run company...more money!). Ended up getting two weeks of UI more than what I deserve. Can't seem to get anyone on the phone to ask how to handle this. Anyone know how to pay this back to the state?

OP here in response to "Try this Link". Two weeks were for the two following furlough - got 4 weeks in total, should only have gotten the two of furlough. I was not convinced GAC was going to honor the severance agreement, and was convinced they would continue to try to screw us, so applied for UI until I had the severance $ in hand.
Try this link: https:__www.dol.state.ga.us_public_uiben_opach_enroll (Replace "_" with "/"). You can also find it from the third link at the bottom of your claim: "Repayment of Overpaid Benefits".
May I ask, Were these weeks for the two weeks of the furlough? I may have to do the same.
GA DOL thinks I requested the 5/10/20 and 5/17/20 payment. There is no option to report two lump sum payments, vac/PTO (LS1) and severance (LS2), for our claim so I reported the total sum to match the payments to my account and then the number of weeks, weekly payment calculated from severance agreement, equal to the total sum. Turns out the Gulfstream Employer payments are now combined with the payments I requested and I am ineligible for 8 weeks of payments.
But this is not the case, they paid us the vac/PTO the week after the W.E. 5/17/20 (IMO Gulfstream did not need to report LS1 with the 5/17 claim), and then the severance when we signed the agreement. We were given the option to file for the furlough or file separately. I let Gulfstream file for the furlough. Then following the letter sent out 5/29 by Human Resources, I initiated a new claim after receiving the severance. The "File A New Claim" form does not give an option for two lump sum payments.
I plan to appeal. Maybe I should just send in the 5/29 email to explain the 5/10 and 5/17 payment were from an Employer Filed Claim and give the dates for the two lump sum payments to disprove I received weekly payments.
