PUA overpayments
Hi – IDES has advised that I owe them $ 12,000
Due to overpayments . I had a question on this – I began receiving payments in June of 2020 based on 2019earnings. My overpayment amounts are from amounts received since Jan 1 of this year . I am hearing this is due to the reduced salary I received in 2020 due to losing
My job . I assumed payments were always based on full 2019 earnings . Can they change
receivals based on last year earnings , of course they will be less as I was out of work for 6 months .Obviously owing $ 12000 is concerning .
Thank you ,

You should file an appeal for a waiver of that demand. The Federal government does not require a return — only the state.
But getting a waiver is not as easy as it sounds. IDES has just created a new website. I cannot find the waiver appeal form anywhere. There is a section on APPEALS — click the highlighted link. But this is not for appeals of PUA return requests.
The best I can suggest is call IDES and get in line for a callback. When you talk to them say you want the waiver of this request. They should be able to tell you how to start that process.
Please let me know what happens.
