Benefit Payment Control
The Benefit Payment Control unit is responsible for the prevention and detection
of unemployment benefit overpayments. The unit includes central office staff as well as twelve Benefit Auditors located in
eight offices throughout the state. These auditors are responsible for conducting hearings on possible overpayments, investigating tips and leads on possible unemployment insurance fraud, and the collection of overpaid benefits.
The central office unit of Benefit Payment Control is located in Nashville Tennessee.
If for some reason a decision is made that you were not entitled to either some of all of the benefits you received during your claim series, an overpayment will be established and you will be required to make repayment. 
If you know of or suspect someone of fraudulently drawing unemployment benefits you may report such cases by phone, fax, or email. Reports can be anonymous, and all allegations are investigated.
