FOOD PURCHASE ASSISTANCE OVERISSUANCES.

A. An individual filing a new claim for unemployment

compensation shall, at the time of filing the claim, disclose

whether or not he or she owes an uncollected overissuance of food

purchase assistance benefits, as defined in 7 U.S.C., Section

2022(c)(1). The Oklahoma Employment Security Commission shall

notify the state food purchase assistance agency enforcing such

obligations of any individual who discloses that he or she owes food

purchase assistance overissuances and who is determined to be

eligible for unemployment compensation.

B. The Commission shall deduct and withhold from any

unemployment compensation payable to an individual who owes an

uncollected overissuance:

1. The amount specified by the individual to the Commission to

be deducted and withheld under this section;

2. The amount, if any, determined pursuant to an agreement

submitted to the state food purchase assistance agency under 7

U.S.C., Section 2022(c)(3)(A); or

3. Any amount otherwise required to be deducted and withheld

from unemployment compensation pursuant to 7 U.S.C., Section

2022(c)(3)(B).

C. Any amount deducted and withheld under this section shall be

paid by the Commission to the appropriate state food purchase

assistance agency.

D. Any amount deducted and withheld under subsection B of this

section shall for all purposes be treated as if it were paid to the

individual as unemployment compensation and paid by the individual

to the state food purchase assistance agency as repayment of the

individual's uncollected overissuance.

E. For purposes of this section, the term "unemployment

compensation" means any compensation payable under this act

including amounts payable by the Commission pursuant to an agreement

under any federal law providing for compensation, assistance, or

allowances with respect to unemployment.

F. This section applies only if arrangements have been made for

reimbursement by the state food purchase assistance agency for the

administrative costs incurred by the Commission under this section

which are attributable to the repayment of uncollected overissuances

to the state food purchase assistance agency.
