LETTER: State Rep. Owens Can Help Constituents Who Get DUA Overpayment Notices

By Guest Writer | February 2, 2022

State Rep. Steve Owens. Throughout this pandemic, constituents have reached out to me about experiencing delays or difficulty receiving their unemployment benefits from the Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA). My office is often a last resort for people exhausted and frustrated with not being able to obtain the funds that will keep them afloat. From the conversations I’ve had with constituents, many are unaware that their state legislators can help navigate DUA’s complicated system. The most recent wave of DUA-related issues has been the dramatic increase in overpayment (otherwise known as “claw back”) notices.
