WAC 192-220-017. Am I required to repay the overpayment?

(1) You must repay the full amount of the overpayment, even if you are not at fault, unless you are granted a waiver. (See also WAC 192-230-110 .) A waiver means you do not have to repay the overpayment. (2) Except as provided in subsection (3) of this section, you are potentially eligible for a waiver of an overpayment when it would be against equity and good conscience for the department to require you to repay the full amount. (3) You are not eligible for a waiver when: (a) You are at fault for the overpayment; (b) The overpayment is the result of a discharge for misconduct or gross misconduct (see RCW 50.20.066 (5)), unless the discharge occurred during the time period beginning on February 2, 2020, and ending on September 4, 2021; (c) The overpayment decision was issued by a state other than Washington; or (d) The overpayment is for disaster unemployment assistance benefits paid under Section 401 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.
