SUBCHAPTER A. BACK PAY AWARDS


	§ 210.001.  NOTICE OF BACK PAY AWARD REDUCTION.  If a 
back pay award to a claimant is reduced because of the receipt of 
unemployment compensation benefits by the claimant, the employer 
against whom the back pay award was made shall notify the commission 
of the back pay award in writing not later than the 12th day after 
the date on which the employer learns about the reduction.

Acts 1993, 73rd Leg., ch. 269, § 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1993.                    


	§ 210.002.  REIMBURSEMENT BY EMPLOYER FOR REDUCTION OF 
BACK PAY AWARD.  (a)  Subject to Subsection (b), an employer who is 
assessed a back pay award that is reduced because of the receipt of 
unemployment compensation benefits by the claimant shall reimburse 
the compensation fund for benefits paid from the compensation fund 
in an amount equal to the amount of the reduction in the back pay 
award.
	(b)  An employer is not liable under this section to pay more 
than the amount that the commission determines the claimant was 
overpaid unemployment compensation benefits because of the back pay 
award.
	(c)  An employer shall reimburse the compensation fund as 
provided by rules adopted by the commission.
	(d)  The commission shall credit the payment of 
reimbursement by an employer against the overpayment of benefits.

	§ 210.003.  EMPLOYEE'S LIABILITY;  SOLE LIABILITY OF 
EMPLOYER.  A claimant is not liable for an overpayment of benefits 
that results from a back pay award and for which the employer 
against whom the award is made is required under Section 210.002 to 
reimburse the compensation fund, and the employer's liability is 
the only liability because of the overpayment.  This section 
prevails over any conflicting provision of this subtitle.
