1026.1
. Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, an
employer's reserve account shall not be relieved of charges relating
to a benefit overpayment if the department determines that the
payment was made because the employer, or an agent of the employer,
was at fault for failing to respond timely or adequately to requests
of the department for information relating to the individual claim
for unemployment compensation benefits. The department shall make
this determination when the employer or agent fails to respond timely
or adequately in two instances relating to the individual claim for
unemployment compensation benefits. This section shall apply to
benefit overpayments established on or after October 22, 2013.
