TIFFANY ZIEGLER APPELLANT v. DIRECTOR, DEPARTMENT OF WORKFORCE SERVICES APPELLEE
Tiffany Ziegler , pro se appellant. Phyllis Edwards , Associate General Counsel, for appellee.
APPEAL FROM THE ARKANSAS
BOARD OF REVIEW
[2012-BR-02906 EUC; NO. 2012-BR-
00367 EUC]
AFFIRMED
RAYMOND R. ABRAMSON , Judge
Tiffany Ziegler appealed from a decision of the Arkansas Board of Review (Board) finding her liable for the repayment of unemployment benefits she received but to which she was later determined not to be entitled. We remanded the matter to the Board for a Paulino hearing and additional findings because it was not clear from the record before us at that time that Ms. Ziegler had ever been afforded one, despite her apparent request for one at the hearing on overpayment. See Ziegler v. Director, 2012 Ark. App. 595.
The Board, upon remand, issued a decision clarifying the record and providing documentation not included in the initial record on appeal. Based on this additional information, it is clear that Ms. Ziegler was afforded a Paulino hearing, but failed to attend. She was subsequently allowed to reopen the issue and also appeal the Appeal Tribunal's decision. Given this procedural history, we are satisfied that a Paulino hearing was, in fact, conducted.
As to the merits of Ms. Ziegler's claims on the issue of overpayment, we find no error and issue this memorandum opinion affirming the Board's decision. See In re Memorandum Opinions, 16 Ark. App. 301, 700 S.W.2d 63 (1985).
Affirmed.
