Inquiry,

I would like to reiterate this to everyone else. Since PEUC and EB20 have almost the same pattern, we are consolidating them in this topic, so please read all threads. That being said, we may write at a later date as soon as we have new information regarding the correction of EB20, so we recommend that you read all threads before applying so that you do not miss any information, including catch ups.

I know it's a lot of work to read the huge amount of information, but please take this as advice to avoid a situation where you make a typing error without knowing the information and the pending process takes too long.

Thank you for your understanding.

p.s.
Thanks for the follow up, temporary return.

I know there are many people who will cut off their 401Ks, which have a great withdrawal penalty fee during the year, but according to the team responsible, "It is not income, so there is no need to apply for Claim a Certification"! There are many people who cut into their 401K to save on penalty fees.

I have researched the cases of overpayment that were found while waiting for PEUC approval, and share them below. This may also happen with EB20, so please read this article if you are planning to apply for EB20.


① UI office calls me and asks if I want to deduct overpayment from my PEUC account balance after approval ？ → PEUC approved a few days after I said "Yes"

② UI office will call you and ask you to apply for claim a certification to process overpayment → After application, PEUC approval will be granted
*The phone call will also tell you how to apply.

③ You will receive an overpayment notice from the UI office via email
*In this case, they say "the UI office will contact you later".

④ Letter regarding overpayment payment method will be sent by mail
*In some cases, this kind of letter will be sent when overpayment is newly identified after PEUC approval.
*If you receive a letter that does not state the payment method and is phrased as "possible overpayment," please contact the overpayment office.

⑤ If the overpayment is due to the applicant's intentional falsehood or Fraud offense, you will receive a UI rejection and penalty letter instead of a PEUC letter
*In this case, you will be prohibited from using your UI account for two years.
*In case of arrest level, instead of a letter, UI office officials are expected to appear before the applicant without notice accompanied by a police officer.


That's all, but if overpayment is found, the UI office will contact you anyway.

In addition, looking over the cases of overpayment, among various reasons, "the applicant did not report the paid leave correctly" and "the timing of the first Claim a Certification application and the timing of the labor report from the employer were not in sync. The most common reasons were that "the applicant did not report the paid leave correctly" and "the timing of the first Claim a Certification application and the labor report from the employer were out of sync.

For your information, please also read the official announcement from Anne, Director of the UI Office regarding overpayment.

On a slightly different note, if you think you may have reported income incorrectly, we strongly recommend that you contact the UI Office as soon as possible to explain the situation and request that it be deducted from future payments on your Claim a Certification application. If you do not do so, you will be charged for the payment later. If you do not do this and the UI office later finds the overpayment, it is likely that your PEUC （ and perhaps even your EB20 ） will be waiting for approval for quite some time.

In order to make up for the large deficit in UI and PUA funds （ ？ ）, many UI offices seem to be moving in earnest to collect overpayments in the wake of the PEUC. It is expected that they will continue to move to collect overpayment even for EB20, where the screening process will be even stricter （ PUA seems to have started collecting overpayment this summer ）.

（ Note ）
When overpayment is deducted from the payment in a Claim a Certification application, the name of the item in the Details is "Overpayment Offset Deduction". The name of the item in the Details is "Overpayment Offset Deduction".
