A bill to amend subtitle A of title II of division A of the CARES Act to provide a hardship waiver for certain overpayments of Pandemic Unemployment Assistance.

AI Summary

This bill amends the CARES Act to provide a hardship waiver for certain overpayments of Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA). Specifically, it allows states to waive the requirement for individuals to repay PUA amounts they received but were not entitled to, if the state determines the payment was made without the individual's fault and requiring repayment would go against equity and good conscience. This provision is intended to provide relief for workers who received PUA overpayments through no fault of their own during the COVID-19 pandemic.
