For questions about repayment of benefits, contact the UIA Benefit Overpayment Collection Unit at 1-866-500-0017. You may qualify for a waiver of your overpayments, but the most effective path to to removal of overpayment is provide income verification.An overpayment happens when the UIA gives you money you were not actually eligible for. The UIA may try to collect money from you to pay it back. You can fill out an Affidavit of Financial Condition to declare that you would not be able to make the required payments. On April 8, 2022 the Unemployment Insurance Agency announced a new promise to halt "new" collections activity and waive overpayments. First you need to actually understand your overpayment letter.
