How Do I Request a Waiver of Unemployment Overpayment?

The Massachusetts DUA has authority to waive an overpayment of unemployment benefits if:

The overpayment was not your fault (i.e., you provided accurate information in your initial application but were approved anyway) and your current income is less than your expenses; or
You used the money for something other than ordinary expenses (i.e., paying off a debt); or
You gave up other benefit sources (i.e., welfare or paid family leave) because you received unemployment benefits.
