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 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.
