• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 08: Labor and
• Art.: Family and Medical Leave

Text

(1) A
covered individual is disqualified from family and medical leave insurance benefits
for one year if the individual is determined by the director to have willfully made a
false statement or misrepresentation regarding a material fact, or willfully failed to
report a material fact, to obtain benefits under this part 5.

(2) If family and medical leave insurance benefits are paid erroneously or as
a result of willful misrepresentation, or if a claim for family and medical leave
insurance benefits is rejected after benefits are paid, the division may seek
repayment of benefits from the recipient. The director shall exercise his or her
discretion to waive, in whole or in part, the amount of any such payments where the
recovery would be against equity and good conscience.
