WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, et al. v. Riteway Bus Service, Inc., et al.
Case No.: 2016AP2066
Officials: Brennan, P.J., Kessler and Brash, JJ.
Focus: Unemployment Benefit Claims
The Department of Workforce Development (DWD) appeals a circuit court decision affirming the Labor and Industry Review Commission’s (LIRC) decision waiving DWD’s recovery of erroneously paid unemployment benefits to three claimants. LIRC found, and the circuit court upheld, that pursuant to WIS. STAT. § 108.22(8)(c) (2015-16),1 the overpayment involved no fault of the claimants and was the result of a departmental error. We affirm.
