Questão jurídica principal
Whether the claimant met the good-faith requirement for waiver of repayment of unduly received unemployment benefits.
Decisão extraída
He did not. By failing to disclose that his alleged salary was conditional and never paid, he acted with gross negligence.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 25 para. 1 LPGA, waiver requires both good faith and hardship. Good faith is excluded where the overpayment was caused by intentional misconduct or gross negligence. The claimant knew or had to know that the absence of any wage payment could affect his entitlement, yet he did not inform the unemployment authorities spontaneously.
