Section R6-3-1812 - Interest on Benefit Overpayments

A. Interest will be computed in accordance with the provisions of A.R.S. § 44-1201 on the last day of each calendar month on all outstanding unemployment insurance overpayments with the following exceptions:

1. No interest shall be computed on any overpayment established during that same month.

2. The accumulation of interest on overpayments created through no fault on the part of the claimant will not begin until the sixth calendar month following the month in which the overpayment was established. If, however, a claimant not at fault in creating the overpayment has entered into an acceptable agreement for repayment and is conforming to the conditions of the agreement, the accumulation of interest will continue to be postponed as long as these conditions are met.

3. If the recoupment of an overpayment has been waived, this waiver will include any interest due at the time of waiver and no further interest will be computed.

B. Interest shall be computed monthly on the unpaid balance of the overpayment.

C. Cash payments submitted by a claimant on an unemployment insurance overpayment shall be applied first to the unpaid balance of the overpayment, next to any accumulated interest, and finally to any lien filing and/or any lien release fees.
