Employee
Rights — Reconsideration
- If you do not
agree with any decision denying you benefits or with
an overpayment decision, you may request reconsideration.
Your request must be in writing and should explain why you
disagree. If you request reconsideration, your request must
be received at an office of the (RRB) within 60 days of
the date of the letter notifying you of the adverse decision.
Be sure to sign your name and include your social security
number on your request.
Waiver - You
may request waiver of recovery
of your overpayment only if ALL
of the following conditions are met:
- The
amount of the overpayment is more than 10 times the current
maximum daily benefit rate;
- You
were not at fault in causing the overpayment; and
- recovery
would cause you financial hardship to the extent that
you would not be able to meet your ordinary and necessary
living expenses or recovery would be unfair for some other
reason.
If your request for waiver is received at an office of
the RRB within 60 days from the date of the letter notifying
you of your debt, we will not recover the overpayment until
a decision is made on your request.
Employer
Rights — The Railroad Unemployment Insurance
Act requires the (RRB) to notify your base year employer(s)
each time you file a claim for benefits, and to give the
employer(s) an opportunity to submit information relevant
to your claim before the RRB makes an initial determination
on the claim. The RRB must also notify your employer each
time benefits are paid to you. Your employer may appeal
the decision to pay benefits. The appeal does not prevent
the timely payment of benefits. However, you may be required
to repay benefits if the appeal is successful.
