If you have an existing non-fraud overpayment, any weekly benefit payment for which you are eligible will be applied to the overpayment. If you have an existing fraud penalty, you are not eligible for regular unemployment benefits. The Division of Employment Security law does not contain a provision to waive the fraud penalties on an overpayment. Part of the benefit payment may be taken for offset of an overpayment. If you have questions regarding your overpayment, you may call 573-751-4058.
