AN OVERPAYMENT OF ‎$655.20 HAS BEEN CHARGED TO YOUR ACCOUNT IN CONNECTION WITH A CLAIM FOR PANDEMIC UNEMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE (PUA).

WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT YOU WILLFULLY GAVE US FALSE INFORMATION OR WITHHELD MATERIAL INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING BENEFITS. THIS PREVENTED US FROM MAKING A CORRECT DECISION ABOUT YOUR ELIGIBILITY UNDER THE FEDERAL CARES ACT OF 2020 (15 U.S.C. 9021(A)(3)). THE NOTICE OF DETERMINATION FOR PANDEMIC UNEMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE (PUA) (DE 8598PUA-D) SENT ON 1 December, 2022 EXPLAINS WHY YOU WERE CHARGED A FALSE STATEMENT PENALTY.

WAIVER: YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO HAVE THIS OVERPAYMENT WAIVED BECAUSE WE DETERMINED THAT THE OVERPAYMENT WAS DUE TO FRAUD, OR THAT RECOVERY OF THE OVERPAYMENT IS NOT AGAINST EQUITY AND GOOD CONSCIENCE.

THE OVERPAYMENT IS FOR THE WEEKS ENDING:

7 November, 2020  ‎$ 252
24 October, 2020  ‎$ 252

ADDITIONAL OVERPAYMENTS MAY BE ESTABLISHED SEPARATELY FOR OTHER FEDERAL UNEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS FOR THE SAME WEEKS LISTED ON THIS FORM IF YOU WERE PAID BENEFITS BEFORE THE DISQUALIFICATION ISSUE WAS ASSESSED. OTHER FEDERAL PROGRAMS INCLUDE PANDEMIC UNEMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE (PUA), PANDEMIC ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION (PAC), ALSO KNOWN AS FEDERAL PANDEMIC UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION (FPUC), LOST WAGES ASSISTANCE (LWA) AND MIXED EARNER UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION (MEUC).

YOUR OVERPAYMENT INCLUDES A ‎30% PENALTY. SECTION 1375.1 OF THE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE (UI) CODE STATES THAT IF YOU GAVE FALSE INFORMATION OR WITHHELD INFORMATION TO RECEIVE BENEFITS, WE MUST ADD A ‎30% PENALTY TO THE OVERPAYMENT AND YOU MAY BE DISQUALIFIED FOR FUTURE BENEFITS.

YOU MUST REPAY THIS OVERPAYMENT OR WE MAY DEDUCT THE MONEY FROM YOUR FUTURE UNEMPLOYMENT, DISABILITY OR PAID FAMILY LEAVE BENEFITS, STATE OR FEDERAL TAX REFUNDS, UNCLAIMED PROPERTY, OR LOTTERY WINNINGS. WE MAY ALSO FILE A CLAIM AGAINST YOU AND CHARGE YOU FOR COURT COSTS AND INTEREST.

YOU CAN PAY ONLINE OR MAKE YOUR CHECK OR MONEY ORDER PAYABLE TO EMPLOYMENT
