Overpayment Information


An overpayment may occur when a claimant is paid unemployment insurance benefits and is later found to not be eligible for those benefits

Common reasons for an overpayment include but are not limited to:

1. A claimant does not report, or underreports, wages or pension benefits when filing a weekly claim, and later information is received with the corrected wages or pension benefits.

2. As the result of an eligibility issue, such as an employer successfully challenging that an employee was fired for misconduct, and NALIHC finds that the employee was ineligible for benefits.

3. An adjustment is made to a claim that changes the amount of benefits due to the claimant for specific Months.

Unless you are eligible for a waiver of overpayment, you are required to pay back any overpayments.
