AN OVERPAYMENT OF $000.00 HAS BEEN CHARGED TO YOUR ACCOUNT IN CONNECTION WITH THE MIXED EARNER UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION (MEUC).

YOU WERE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR AT LEAST $1 OF UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS. THIS INCLUDES ANY SITUATION WHERE YOUR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS WERE NOT APPLIED TO YOUR OVERPAYMENT DEBT FOR THE WEEK ENDING DATE(S) PROVIDED. SEE NOTICE OF DETERMINATION FOR MIXED EARNER UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION (MEUC) (DE 6330MEUC-D) DATED (MM/DD/YYYY). (CARES ACT, 15 U.S.C., SECTION 9023 [B][1]).

THE DOCUMENTS YOU SUBMITTED DO NOT PROVE YOUR NET (AFTER TAXES AND DEDUCTIONS) INCOME FROM SELF-EMPLOYMENT WAS AT LEAST $5,000 BY THE DUE DATE OF MM/DD/YY. SEE NOTICE OF DETERMINATION FOR MIXED EARNER UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION (MEUC) DATED (MM/DD/YYYY). (CARES ACT, 15 U.S.C., SECTION 9023 [B][1][C] AND ‎[B][4])

THE WEEK ENDING DATE(S) PROVIDED DO NOT FALL WITHIN THE MEUC PAYMENT ELIGIBILITY PERIOD. SEE NOTICE OF DETERMINATION FOR MIXED EARNER UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION (MEUC) DATED (MM/DD/YYYY). (CARES ACT, 15 U.S.C., SECTION 9023[B][3][A][II])

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. THE NOTICE OF DETERMINATION FOR MIXED EARNER UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION (MEUC) (DE 6330MEUC-D) SENT ON (MM/DD/YYYY) EXPLAINS WHY YOU WERE CHARGED A FALSE STATEMENT PENALTY. (CARES ACT, 15 U.S.C. 9023[b][1])

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.

WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT YOU KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU WERE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR BENEFITS, NEGLIGENTLY REPORTED INCORRECT INFORMATION, OR NEGLIGENTLY FAILED TO REPORT INFORMATION. NOTICE OF DETERMINATION FOR MIXED EARNER UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION (MEUC) (DE 6330MEUC-D) SENT ON (MM/DD/YYYY) EXPLAINS WHY YOU WERE AT FAULT.

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

YOU ARE RECEIVING THIS NOTICE BECAUSE YOU RECEIVED UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS TO WHICH YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED AND FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THAT YOU BE NOTIFIED OF AN OVERPAYMENT. HOWEVER, YOU DO NOT NEED TO REPAY THESE BENEFITS BECAUSE THESE PAYMENTS WERE ISSUED INCORRECTLY THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN, AND REPAYMENT WOULD BE CONTRARY TO EQUITY AND GOOD CONSCIENCE.

THE OVERPAYMENT IS FOR THE WEEKS ENDING:
MM/DD/YY $0
MM/DD/YY $0
MM/DD/YY $0

DE 1444MEUC (4-23) (INTRANET)

SAMPLE, this page for reference only.

YOU ARE NOT LIABLE TO REPAY THIS OVERPAYMENT BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED YOU MEET WAIVER CRITERIA ESTABLISHED BY DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS.

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 DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. IF PAYING BY CHECK OR MONEY ORDER, INCLUDE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND SEND IT TO THE FIELD OFFICE AT THE ADDRESS ON THE FIRST PAGE OF THIS NOTICE. IF YOU DO NOT REPAY YOUR OVERPAYMENT OR DO NOT FILE AN APPEAL WITHIN 30 DAYS, WE WILL SEND YOU A BENEFIT OVERPAYMENT COLLECTION NOTICE (DE 8344) WITH ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PAY BACK THE OVERPAYMENT. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO PAY IN FULL, REPAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS MAY BE MADE BY CALLING BENEFIT OVERPAYMENT COLLECTIONS AT ‎‎1-800-676-5737.
