Thousands may owe NC for unemployment overpayments

the article says that there are about 38,000 people they sent letters to,saying that they owe money to the state of North Carolina. The peolpe who owe are the unemployed and they were being paid more than they nedded to to be paid . and there were peolpe who also needed the money but they were paid less. So now the state said that they will get additional help and more money but the people who got paid more need to pay back what they owe. those people who owe the money got a letter saying they owed but it wasn't their fault.

When peeple got that letter saying thet money becasue they got paid more than they were suppoosed to they were probabaly mad. how can they get paid more?that's not their fault that the government made a mistake, the state should not make them pay that money back becasue it was no one's fault except the state and or government. The people who didn't get paid enough should get extra help like the article said the state said they would. I dan't know how that can happen when people count the money and they're supposed to make sure they know how much they pay a person.
