On June 4, 2009, the Utah Court of Appeals affirmed the Department of Workforce Services' assessment of a penalty against an unemployment benefits recipient who failed to disclose that she worked during weeks in which she received unemployment benefits. In Mugleston v. Department of Workforce Services, the Court ruled that despite the recipients claims that "she did not knowingly submit incorrect information," the recipient "was accountable for the information in the claimant guide and the information presented to her in the initial claim instructions," which both notified her "that she was required to report work performed, regardless of when she was paid for such work." The Court agreed that the woman had willfully misrepresented or concealed the information.Labels: Benefits, Unemployment Compensation, Utah Court of Appeals
