ALBUQUERQUE – The New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions (NMDWS) has received approval from the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) to issue a blanket waiver, allowing the department to forgive certain overpayments made under the CARES Act.
This waiver offers necessary relief to New Mexicans who mistakenly received overpayments during the pandemic through the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program.
"We are grateful to the U.S. Department of Labor for granting this blanket waiver, which allows the Department to continue reevaluating overpayments for claimants who were paid incorrectly due to the unprecedented expansion of benefits and rapidly changing rules of that time," said NMDWS Cabinet Secretary Sarita Nair. "This waiver provides much-needed relief to individuals who were overpaid pandemic benefits through no fault of their own."
