Reemployment Assistance

Overpayments

The South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation administers the Reemployment Assistance (RA) program. The RA Division pays benefits to unemployed workers and collects RA tax from employers. The Division makes every effort to properly collect taxes and pay benefits. Part of that effort is to prevent, detect and collect overpayments.

Reporting Refusal of Suitable Work

Businesses should use the Employer Reporting Refusal of Suitable Work form to report employees who refuse to return to work without good reason or who quit their jobs. (Open this form in an Adobe reader program to complete. Changes made in your internet browser will not save.) As soon as possible, email form to RAFraud@state.sd.us or mail to:

DLR RA Division
Attn: Benefits
P.O. Box 4730
Aberdeen, SD  57402-4730

Fraudulent activity will lead to an inability to receive future reemployment assistance benefits until all fraudulent claims and fines have been repaid. Individuals are responsible for paying back benefits deemed as overpayments due to ineligibility.

See our Refusal to Work page for more information.
