Establishes that an individual who makes a false statement or representation in an attempt to obtain unemployment compensation benefits is subject to an additional penalty of 15 percent of the amount of benefits overpaid or deemed overpaid. An employer may not be granted benefit charge relief for benefit payments if: the benefit payment was made because the employer or their agent failed to respond timely or adequately to a written request for information; there is no good cause for the failure to respond as determined by the Employment Security Department; and the employer or their agent has a pattern of such failures. For employers that use agents, the actions of the agent count when determining whether the employer has a pattern of failing to respond.
