Pandemic Unemployment Payment over payment

I think that puts you in a good position to refute their claims.
Send them the data laid out for the timeline, and tell them you don't believe you owe them.

Hard believe people are still being chased over this.

I'll just say this OP, DSP have access to payroll data & both revenue & DSP have been sharing data for years. They can see what you can see & have determined there's an over payment.

What I find strange is the initial €20 repayment & how it was determined initially owed €20 and now owe €1K

They see absolutely everything with regard to taxable Income, this is a simple fact you fail to grasp.

The rampant fraud was as a direct result of PUP being implemented in a Rush & such was the volume of claims (Close to 600k) it took time for fraudulent claims to be uncovered.

It is DSP analysing OP'S taxable income via data supplied by revenue that's led to a determination of an over payment, Do you seriously think DSP work off guess work.

what on earth are you going on about?!! Who is paying who what?!?
Revenue say that this person has a tax liability. This person is connected to revenue and his employer and all his previous employers by his PPSN.
He’s not denying that he worked for this employer he’s merely querying whether he worked for them the weeks that revenue say he did. PUP was paid out in a panic to stop people from starving to death when the country closed down.
It’s going to take years to rectify all the mistakes made in covid and PUP is one of them.

Precisely, Ash just can't help but deflect with incoherent nonsense.

It is NOT what you intimated in your initial reply, instead went straight into accusations of Fraud. Then you went on to absurdly suggest DSP has no access to taxable income Data.

The OP has clearly explained their situation.

You appear to think Fraud is rampant with regard to SW payments. The vast majority claimed PUP ligitimately & where entitled to it. Unfortunately many also found themselves with substantial tax liabilities through no fault of theirs, also many found themselves in situations where over payments occured, again inadvertently.

Yes there was substantial Fraud & we know precisely where & how it originated from & cases before the courts practically every month.

DSP have access to the data, the OP can appeal any decision on an over payment.

Appeals with regards to over payments are not handled through My welfare portal. A specific department within DSP handles over payments & collection of over payments. The contact details will be contained in the letter.

Do we now 🤔 how very Cryptic.

I'm assuming you naively think I work for DSP & of course if you bothered to check any of my posts, you'd know it's nonsense & preposterous.

Having paid Taxes & contributions for decades, I'm now on DA

No. you could not even work one hour while on the PUP.

Not a Cent of taxable income, holiday pay or otherwise.

As explained, it's a review of Taxable income data from Revenue being cross referenced on those who received PUP.

Worth also mentioning, many found themselves with Tax liabilities because of PUP.

Numerous threads on PUP over the years on this forum, they dealt with numerous questions raised, especially on Eligibility.

There was no “signing on” for anyone on the PUP and there was no signing on anyway because the SW offices were all closed.
I went to work everyday in the CIC which was also closed to walk in customers but we answered the phone, which rang off the hook (as the yanks say) with queries mostly in the first few weeks related to PUP and other covid emergency measures.
The information we were getting from the government about the PUP (who was entitled, who wasn’t, how much can I get?) was changing constantly.
Some days it was changing from morning to afternoon.
I started taking peoples phone numbers and ringing them back in the afternoon to change the information I’d given them that morning.
That’s because there was no precedent to this and no plan of action.

PUP Payments reduced over time, the €350 was only paid for a number of months gradually reducing.

No need for Bank statements, DSP & Revenue have all the info required to determine if a person was in receipt of Taxable income & PUP at the same time.
