My Boss Is Telling Me To Pay Him Back After Firing Me.

Card image cap

A couple months ago, I was fired from my job, I was getting ready to move in to a new house with some of my close friends, to make bills and living cheaper on all of us. My old boss knew I was moving into a new home, and decided that he would give me and extra $1000 for moving expenses, I didn’t sign anything for the extra money nor did I make any deals for that 1000.

A couple months later he texts me out of the blue asking if I filed for unemployment, which I did. Then he proceeds to pressure me into stop filing for it because he thought the 1000 dollars would be enough for me to hold myself off until I found a new job. Of course I told him it’s impossible for me to do such while I’m still searching for a job, as well as paying for groceries and bills.

Finally he tells me I either pay him back and keep my unemployment, or I take myself off of said unemployment. I haven’t texted him back and wanted to seek advice about the legal ramifications about all of this before anything. Any and all information helps! Thank you!
