Title 34, Chapter 8, Section 199
( 34-8-199)
(a) As used in this Code section, the term: (1) "Uncollected overissuance" has the same meaning as provided in
7 U.S.C. Section 2022(c)(1). (2) "Unemployment compensation" means any compensation payable
under this chapter including amounts payable by the Commissioner
pursuant to an agreement under any federal law providing for
compensation, assistance, or allowances with respect to
unemployment. (b) An individual filing a new claim for unemployment compensation
shall, at the time of filing such claim, disclose whether or not he
or she owes an uncollected overissuance of food stamp coupons. The
Commissioner shall notify the Department of Human Resources or the
successor state food stamp agency enforcing such obligation of any
individual who discloses that he or she owes such uncollected
overissuance and who is determined to be eligible for unemployment
compensation. (c) The Commissioner shall deduct and withhold from any unemployment
compensation payable to an individual who owes an uncollected
overissuance: (1) The amount specified by the individual to the Commissioner to
be deducted and withheld as provided by this Code section; (2) The amount, if any, determined pursuant to an agreement
submitted to the Department of Human Resources or the successor
state food stamp agency under 7 U.S.C. Section 2022(c)(3)(A); or (3) Any amount otherwise required to be deducted and withheld from
unemployment compensation pursuant to 7 U.S.C. Section
2022(c)(3)(B). (d) Any amount deducted and withheld pursuant to this Code section
shall be paid by the Commissioner to the Department of Human
Resources or the successor state food stamp agency. (e) Any amount deducted and withheld under subsection (d) of this
Code section shall for all purposes be treated as if it were paid to
the individual as unemployment compensation and paid by such
individual to the Department of Human Resources or the successor
state food stamp agency as repayment of the individual's uncollected
issuance. (f) This Code section applies only if arrangements have been made
for reimbursement by the Department of Human Resources or the
successor state food stamp agency for the administrative costs
incurred by the Commissioner under this Code section which are
attributable to the repayment of uncollected overissuances to the
Department of Human Resources or the successor state food stamp
agency. |
