Virginia has amended its Unemployment Compensation Act as follows:
Overpayments. Any individual who has received a benefit to which he or she was not entitled will be liable for the repayment of those sums. In the event that the individual does not refund the overpayments, the Commission has the authority to negotiate the terms of repayment, which will include deducting up to 50% of the payable amount for any future week of benefits claimed, rounded down to the next lowest dollar until the overpayment is satisfied; foregoing collection of the payable amount until the individual has found employment; or determining and instituting an individualized repayment plan. Note that the Commission may collect an overpayment caused by administrative error only by offset against future benefits or a negotiated repayment plan; however, it may institute any other method of collection if an individual fails to enter into or comply with the terms of the repayment plan.
