                  CHAPTER 85--UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION
 
                    SUBCHAPTER I--EMPLOYEES GENERALLY
 
Sec. 8507. False statements and misrepresentations

    (a) If a State agency, the Secretary of Labor, or a court of 
competent jurisdiction finds that an individual--
        (1) knowingly has made, or caused to be made by another, a false 
    statement or representation of a material fact, or knowingly has 
    failed, or caused another to fail, to disclose a material fact; and
        (2) as a result of that action has received an amount as 
    compensation under this subchapter to which he was not entitled;

the individual shall repay the amount to the State agency or the 
Secretary. Instead of requiring repayment under this subsection, the 
State agency or the Secretary may recover the amount by deductions from 
compensation payable to the individual under this subchapter during the 
2-year period after the date of the finding. A finding by a State agency 
or the Secretary may be made only after an opportunity for a fair 
hearing, subject to such further review as may be appropriate under 
sections 8502(d) and 8503(c) of this title.
    (b) An amount repaid under subsection (a) of this section shall be--
        (1) deposited in the fund from which payment was made, if the 
    repayment was to a State agency; or
        (2) returned to the Treasury of the United States and credited 
    to the current applicable appropriation, fund, or account from which 
    payment was made, if the repayment was to the Secretary.
