An overpayment is caused when Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) pays unemployment benefits that you were not eligible to receive. State law requires TWC to recover all unemployment benefits overpayments. There is no statute of limitations on debts owed to the state.
The amount of an overpayment of compensation may be recouped by deducting that amount from future payments of compensation to the employee or the employee's successor.
An overpayment letter is a formal request to repay a debt owed to the Medicare Trust Fund. Payment is due upon receipt of the notice. Send the payment with a copy of the overpayment letter received or request an immediate offset.
