FRED JACKSON Opinion Delivered February 2, 2022 APPELLANT APPEAL FROM THE ARKANSAS BOARD OF REVIEW V. [NO. 2021-BR-01219] DIRECTOR, DEPARTMENT OF WORKFORCE SERVICES AFFIRMED APPELLEE

RAYMOND R. ABRAMSON, Judge

Fred Jackson appeals the Arkansas Board of Review’s (the Board’s) decision that was

mailed on April 22, 2021. In the decision, the Board affirmed the decision of the Appeal

Tribunal, which conducted a hearing on January 8, 2021. The Appeal Tribunal affirmed

the Division of Workforce Services’ issuance of a “Notice of Non-Fraud Overpayment

Determination” to Jackson on September 25, 2020, finding he was liable to repay $940 in

benefits pursuant to Arkansas Code Annotated section 11-10-532(b) (Supp. 2021). We

affirm the Board’s decision but note that in the record before us, Jackson provides

confirmation that he has made payment to satisfy the overpayment determination.

In Jackson’s petition for review, he includes a copy of a personal check for the

overpayment amount of $940, dated February 2, 2021, and deposited into an account of

the Arkansas Division of Workforce Services. We therefore affirm the decision with the acknowledgement that Jackson has satisfied the overpayment decision by the payment in

full of $940 to the agency. No further action is needed at this time.

Affirmed.

BARRETT and BROWN, JJ., agree.

Fred L. Jackson, pro se appellant.
