Complete loss of income

I live on less than $300/week after child support from unemployment and comp benefits due to a serious work injury. Because of my low income, I moved into a one-room apartment in a small town and opened a PO Box at the local post office. Shortly after moving in, my benefits suddenly stopped and it took two weeks to find out that it was due to failure to respond to mailed documents.

I inquired about my mail status with the local postmaster and she explained that she found all of my mail in the large box over mine. She wrote a certified letter explaining this and she stamped and signed it. The missing mail contained a notification of an unemployment appeal hearing that I had missed a week later. The court told me that their decision had been made and I should fill out the appeal request form sent to me and they will get back to me (by mail only). I will soon be homeless/carless and in child support default. Not only did I lose my right to have a fair hearing I have been court ordered to repay $4000.00 to the NYS department of unemployment.
