Repaying Overpayments
You must repay any overpayments before we can
pay you benefits. TWC sends a letter explaining why
you owe us money.
If you are filing for benefits and are eligible, we apply
each weekly payment toward reducing your overpayment.
If you were overpaid benefits in another state and are
eligible in Texas, we send your benefits to the other state
until the overpayment is paid. If you are eligible in anothe
state, we ask that state to recover the money for us.
If you are not filing for benefits and are unable to
repay the entire amount, call 512-936-3338 or
e-mail special.colloverpay@twc.state.tx.us about
setting up a repayment plan.
If your overpayment is past due, TWC may intercept all or some of your IRS refund to
repay the overpayment.

Overpayments stay
on your record until
repaid. We cannot
pay you benefits if
you owe us money.
