Section 612.365 - Overpayments and recovery1. Any person who is overpaid any amount as benefits under this chapter is liable for the amount overpaid unless:(a) The overpayment was not due to fraud, misrepresentation or willful nondisclosure on the part of the recipient; and(b) The overpayment was received without fault on the part of the recipient, and its recovery would be against equity and good conscience, as determined by the Administrator.2. The amount of the overpayment must be assessed to the liable person, and the person must be notified of the basis of the assessment. The notice must specify the amount for which the person is liable. In the absence of fraud, misrepresentation or willful nondisclosure, notice of the assessment must be mailed, electronically transmitted or personally served not later than 1 year after the close of the benefit year in which the overpayment was made.3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, at any time within 5 years after the notice of overpayment, the Administrator may recover the amount of the overpayment by using the same methods of collection provided in NRS 612.625 to 612.645, inclusive, 612.685 and 612.686 for the collection of past due contributions or by deducting the amount of the overpayment from any benefits payable to the liable person under this chapter.4. If the overpayment is due to fraud, misrepresentation or willful nondisclosure, the Administrator may, within 10 years after the notice of overpayment, recover any amounts due in accordance with the provisions of NRS 612.7102 to 612.7116, inclusive.5. The Administrator may waive recovery or adjustment of all or part of the amount of any such overpayment which the Administrator finds to be uncollectible or the recovery or adjustment of which the Administrator finds to be administratively impracticable.6. To the extent allowed pursuant to federal law, the Administrator may assess any administrative fee prescribed by an applicable agency of the United States regarding the recovery of such overpayments.7. Any person against whom liability is determined under this section may appeal therefrom within 11 days after the date the notice provided for in this section was mailed to, electronically transmitted to or served upon, the person. An appeal must be made and conducted in the manner provided in this chapter for the appeals from determinations of benefit status. The 11-day period provided for in this subsection may be extended for good cause shown.[Part 3:129:1937; A 1939, 115; 1941, 412; 1945, 299; 1947, 413; 1949, 277; 1951, 339; 1953, 677; 1955, 698]-(NRS A 1959, 902; 1993, 1818; 2003, 1937; 2005, 445; 2009, 2493; 2013, 1965; 2015, 2709; 2021, 1475)Amended by 2021, Ch. 279,§5, eff. 7/1/2021.Amended by 2015, Ch. 466,§3, eff. 10/1/2015.[Part 3:129:1937; A 1939, 115; 1941, 412; 1945, 299; 1947, 413; 1949, 277; 1951, 339; 1953, 677; 1955, 698] - (NRS A 1959, 902; 1993, 1818; 2003, 1937; 2005, 445; 2009, 2493)
