Iowa overpayments in jobless aid questioned in audit
Iowa Job Service may have overpaid about 1.2 million dollars in unemployment benefits for 1982 and 1983, per a state audit covering the year ending September 30, 1983. Auditor Richard Johnson notes estimated overpayments of 336,421 in 1982 and 876,314 in 1983, with officials calling the figures only estimates. The audit cites misallocation of extra benefits to recipients with no dependents and urges enhanced training and clearer dependency rules to prevent future overpayments.
