If the overpayment is not repaid in full before you claim future benefits, a deduction (offset) will be made from these benefits. The VEC will also use other methods to collect the money owed, including collection agencies, credit bureaus, wage garnishment, attachment of bank accounts, and seizing of income tax refunds. The costs of collection, including administrative costs, attorney’s fees, late penalty, and interest can be charged to you.
