If you find yourself facing an overpayment, here’s what the Benefit Overpayment Section will do to address the issue:
- Monitor your claims to make sure benefits are paid correctly.
- Investigate any potential fraudulent activity related to your claims.
- Work to recover any overpaid unemployment benefits through:
- Setting up a plan for you to repay the amount.
- Reducing your future benefit payments to recover the overpayment.
- Taking the matter to Small Claims Court or Circuit Court if needed.
- Handling cases where bankruptcy is involved.
- Match your reported earnings with data from the State and National Directory of New Hires.
- Confirm your eligibility status if you are not a U.S. citizen.
- Provide verification of your unemployment benefits to third parties when required.
- Review requests to waive overpayments in hardship cases, provided fraud isn’t involved.
- Offset or reduce payments for Wyoming claims if you have overpayments in other states, and they work with other states to recover Wyoming overpayments.
