Iowa Admin. Code r. 871-25.12 - Wage verification procedure

(1) Each quarter, wage verification documents are mailed to selected employers requesting wage information on specific claimants with regard to benefit payments.

(2) The completed documents are sent to the investigation and recovery unit for review. Potential cases of conflict will result in an investigation assignment. Claimants will be notified by means of Form 65-5332, Audit Notice of Potential Overpayment, and given an opportunity to respond. If it is determined that an overpayment has occurred, the investigator will prepare Form 68-0031, Decision Overpayment Worksheet, on which the amount, weeks, type, and reason for the overpayment are identified. Claimants are notified of the determination on Form 65-5352, Unemployment Insurance Decision.

(3) An employer may choose to participate in the automated wage verification procedure by following the electronic submission guidelines.

(4) An employer that fails to respond to a request for wage information pertaining to specific claimant(s) will be charged a fee of $25 per claimant.

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 96.11(1).
