Need to know

It is your responsibility to report all wages earned and keep accurate records. DEW routinely audits weekly claims and if you are found to be overpaid for benefits, DEW employs several measures to recoup the outstanding debt, including wage withholding, intercepting state income tax returns and intercepting federal income tax returns.
