When you have been overpaid benefits, the repayments can be taken from you by: Making deductions from your benefit payments. Taking it out of benefits that are owed to you. Taking amounts directly out of your wages. Getting a court order for debt recovery.
You have the right to appeal an overpayment determination. You must submit your appeal in writing within 30 days of the mailing date on the Notice of Overpayment (DE 1444). You can still submit an appeal after the 30-day deadline, but you must provide the reasons why you missed the appeal deadline.
