Legal Question in Employment Law in Utah
Unemployment Benefits
It recently came to my attention that I had taken some unemployment benefits which I should not have. Should I reimburse without solicitation, or wait for official notice? What might be the consequences of my actions?

Your best course of action would be to repay the money. If you are caught, you may be charged with fraud, theft or other crime. In any event by volunteering to return the money, you will get better treatment than if you wait to get caught.
