What is an overpayment on my unemployment insurance account?
Overpayments are benefits paid that you were not entitled to receive. If benefits are paid in error, whether it is your fault or ours, you are required to repay them. If you are overpaid benefits, you a notice will be sent to you. You are responsible for repaying the overpaid amount. If you are not requesting benefits at the time you receive a notice of overpayment, we are willing to set up a payment plan with you to repay the debt in a reasonable period of time. If you do not repay your overpayment it will be recovered by deductions from future benefits, seizing your state tax refund, garnishing your wages, a levy on your bank account, or referral to a collection agency.
