WAC 192-230-030   How is the minimum payment calculated?  The department will calculate your minimum monthly payment as described in this section, unless we approve another payment amount.

     (1) If the overpayment was assessed by another state, the department will not calculate a minimum monthly payment. If the overpayment is being recovered by offset against future benefits, recovery will be done as described in WAC 192-230-100(4).

     (2) For overpayments due to fraud, your minimum monthly payment will be the greater of (a) your weekly benefit amount or (b) three percent of your outstanding balance when the billing statement is mailed, rounded down to the next whole dollar amount.

     (3) For all other overpayments, your minimum monthly payment will be the greater of (a) one-third of your weekly benefit amount, (b) three percent of your outstanding balance when the billing statement is mailed, rounded down to the next whole dollar amount, or (c) twenty-five dollars.
