VEC Resumes Collecting Overpayments

The Virginia Employment Commission resumed collections of unemployment overpayments last Friday.The VEC was provided authority from the General Assembly to temporarily suspend outside collections activities until July 1 to allow for the ongoing processing of claims and waivers. Customers who have a pending waiver or appeal will not be referred to billing and collections until all other options have been pursued. For those who do not enter in a repayment plan, they will now be referred to collections.
