If it is determined that an overpayment has occurred, the investigator will prepare Form 68-0031, Decision Overpayment Worksheet, on which the amount, weeks, type, and reason for the overpayment are identified. Claimants are notified of the determination on Form 65-5323, Unemployment Insurance Decision.

(3) An employer may choose to participate in the automated wage verification procedure by following the electronic submission guidelines.

(4) An employer that fails to respond to a request for wage information pertaining to specific claimant(s) as such request pertains to benefit payments will be charged a fee of $25 per claimant.

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 96.11(1).
