Legal Question in Employment Law in Iowa

Here is the issue, last year in April I was fired from a job. I originally was granted unemployment benefits, however the employer appealed and the judge ruled in their favor. In the judges decision it stated that they would remand the decision whether or not i should pay the overpayment back to the Unemployment Division. That was the last I heard of anything in regards to that case. This year i was laid off by another employer, and in turn i filed for unemployment on 01/04/2011. After trying to get an answer from them i finally recieved a document in the mail that stated i needed to pay back the unemployment benefits that i recieved last year. This decision was made on 01/22/2011, almost 9 months later. In those 9 months i NEVER once received any notification that i needed to pay it back. It was only AFTER i had applied for benefits again that they made this decision. I have appealed this decision and have the hearing tommorrow. Do i have a good chance of winning?

It's hard to say. If they overpaid you, they're going to want it back any way they can get it.
