The Virginia Employment Commission is mailing overpayment waiver applications to individuals with overpayments that meet specific requirements. Please note, if you receive multiple overpayment waiver applications on a single day, you only need to complete and return one waiver application for consideration. Additionally, you should only complete an overpayment waiver application that was mailed to you. Making a copy of another individual's waiver application form to complete and return on your own behalf will likely result in your application being unable to be reviewed.
