SB 1035 Unemployment compensation; collection of overpayments.

Introduced by: John C. Watkins | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Unemployment compensation; collection of overpayments. Provides that any person who has received an overpayment of unemployment benefits under a federal program or a program of any other state is liable to the Virginia Employment Commission for the overpayment. Currently, liability for benefit overpayments extends only to benefits under Title 60.2. The measure also provides that the procedure for collecting overpayments resulting from administrative error does not apply if the overpayment involves benefits under a federal program or a program of any other state. The requirement that the state collect overpayments made under unemployment compensation programs of other states and the federal government is established by § 2103 of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012. The measure has an emergency clause that provides that it shall apply to weeks beginning after the end of the 2013 regular legislative session. This is a recommendation of the Commission on Unemployment Compensation.
