MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - The Vermont Department of Labor is refunding businesses that were overcharged because of a computer error.
The Burlington Free Press reports (https://bfpne.ws/2tyPJRp ) the state Department of Labor cited a coding glitch for errors in calculations of past-due balances for unemployment insurance and health care assessments.
Commissioner Lindsay Kurrle says the coding problem dates back to 2008, and the state has collected $26,000 in interest overpayments.
Businesses that made interest overpayments within the last three years will receive a refund. Officials say businesses that overpaid before 2014 should call the Department of Labor for help.
The coding error has been fixed.
