Do I Have To Pay Back a Non-At Fault Overpayment to Pennsylvania Unemployment?

Non-At Fault Overpayments Under Pennsylvania Unemployment Law

Generally, a non-at fault overpayment takes place when you initially received benefits but were later denied benefits because the employer fought your claim and you lost a hearing before an Unemployment Referee. Usually, this occurs when you are determined to have engaged in "willful misconduct," or that you quit your job without a "necessitous and compelling reason" to do so,  This issue is finally decided at a Referee Hearing, so if you have a Hearing coming up, you may want to seek legal counsel.  In many cases, we not only win the overpayment issue, we also win you benefits going forward!

If you have received a non-at fault overpayment, you do not have to pay back what you received UNLESS you file for Pennsylvania Unemployment within 3 years of the date of your first overpayment..
