Religious nonprofits have the option to not pay unemployment to the state. If they choose not to pay unemployment then the employee cannot collect unemployment. If they do pay unemployment costs to the state then the employee can collect unemployment benefits. Nonreligious organizations do have to pay unemployment, but they can pay the state one of two ways. As a state tax rated employer (same as a for profit company) or as a direct reimbursurer. In this case the employee is able to collect unemployment benefits. Referenced from www.chooseust.com
The state can't take overpayment of unemployment benefits from a Federal tax refund. Some states have provisions to deduct such from the state tax refund of their state. Most states will take a percentage of future unemployment benefits to pay off unemployment compensation overpayment.
If the overpayment states they overpaid you then they will deduct that from your next unemployment payment(s) unless of course you are no longer on unemployment then you are required to pay them back directly. You may have claimed or did not report monies they found out about.
