Block 1: Evidence-and-Request Section
Documented VEC Records Requiring Benefits Reconciliation
The attached exhibits are VEC internal and agency records concerning Claimant ID 54377566.
They show that VEC personnel identified favorable or corrective decisions affecting my claim,
raised the question whether those decisions had been implemented, and specifically flagged a
potentially unpaid benefit week and removal of the $378 overpayment.
Exhibit A — “Can you check to see if all decisions have been implemented, and if so, whether he is due any payments.”
Source/Location: Internal VEC email from Jason R. German,
Chief Appeals Examiner, dated June 24, 2025, subject line “CID: 54377566.”
In Proof.docx, this appears approximately mid-to-late document, on or near the page labeled “6/24.”
Key quoted language:
“We don’t have any active appeals for him. The most recent decisions are listed below. Can you check to see if all decisions have been implemented, and if so, whether he is due any payments.”
“5/8/25-UI-145419-C-Good cause for late appeal to AE’s decision. Reversed and claimant eligible for benefits from 12/15/24-12/28/25 under 612.5.”
“6/23/25-UI-25009640-Vacated - (void ab initio) Decision of deputy that denied the claimant benefits 7/28/24 due to a lack of promptness in issuing the decision.”
“6/23/25-UI-25009642 - Vacated (void ab initio) Decision of deputy that held the claimant overpaid $378[.]”
What this shows:
This is an internal VEC directive from the Chief Appeals Examiner asking benefits/payment
personnel to verify implementation of the identified decisions and determine whether money was due.
It identifies UI-145419-C as an eligibility decision and identifies UI-25009640 and UI-25009642
as vacaturs from the beginning (void ab initio), including the decision that created the
$378 overpayment.
Implication for reconciliation:
VEC should provide a written, decision-by-decision accounting showing exactly how each listed
decision was implemented, the weeks affected, the amount calculated for each week, every payment
issued, the date and method of payment, and any reason a payment remains unpaid. If the $378
overpayment was based on a decision VEC describes as vacated void ab initio, VEC should
confirm in writing that the balance was removed and identify the date and transaction by which it
was removed.
Exhibit B — “Check … if BWE 9/28 is paid, and OP amt of 378.00 for BWE 10/5 is remov[ed].”
Source/Location: Internal VEC email from Tony Horn, dated June 25, 2025,
subject line “ID 54377566-check 6/26.” In Proof.docx, this appears near the beginning,
shortly after the June 25 FOIA/demand material—approximately page 2 or 3 of the document.
Key quoted language:
“ID 54377566-check 6/26- see if bwe 9/28 is paid, and OP amt of 378.00 for bwe 10/5 is remov also, remove from word doc.”
What this shows:
VEC staff specifically identified two concrete corrective items for the claim: whether the benefit
week ending September 28 had been paid and whether the $378 overpayment for the benefit week ending
October 5 had been removed.
Implication for reconciliation:
This is direct internal confirmation that those items required review. VEC should answer each item
separately:
-
BWE September 28: State whether payment was made. If yes, provide the
gross amount, deductions or offsets, net amount, payment date, and payment method. If no, identify
the precise decision and legal basis preventing payment.
-
$378 overpayment for BWE October 5: State whether the overpayment was
removed. If yes, provide the effective date, relevant ledger entry, and current balance. If no,
explain how VEC continues to maintain an overpayment after the underlying overpayment decision was vacated.
Exhibit C — “Reversed and claimant eligible for benefits from 12/15/24–12/28/25 under 612.5.”
Source/Location: Official May 8, 2025 Commission decision,
UI-145419-C. The internal June 24, 2025 VEC email quoted in Exhibit A summarizes this decision.
In Proof.docx, that summary appears in the same mid-to-late June 24 email, on or near the page labeled “6/24.”
Attach the complete signed decision as Exhibit C if available.
Key quoted language from VEC’s internal decision summary:
“5/8/25-UI-145419-C-Good cause for late appeal to AE’s decision. Reversed and claimant eligible for benefits from 12/15/24-12/28/25 under 612.5.”
What this shows:
VEC’s internal records describe UI-145419-C as reversing the prior decision and finding the claimant
eligible for benefits for the decision’s identified period. The full signed Commission decision is
the controlling exhibit and should be attached behind this cover page if available.
Implication for reconciliation:
VEC must identify every claim week that falls within the period actually stated in the signed
UI-145419-C decision, calculate the weekly entitlement for each payable week, and identify every
payment or nonpayment. If VEC asserts that an otherwise eligible week was not payable, it should
identify the specific separate decision, issue, or statutory bar supporting that position—not merely
provide a generalized statement that payment is unavailable.
Important verification note: The internal-email extraction appears to
state the date range as “12/15/24-12/28/25.” Verify the exact date range against the signed
UI-145419-C decision before finalizing this exhibit. Use the signed decision’s language and dates
in the submitted version.
Exhibit D — “Vacated (void ab initio) … [the] decision that held the claimant overpaid $378.”
Source/Location: Official June 23, 2025 decision/order,
UI-25009642. The internal VEC email from June 24, 2025 summarizes the order. In Proof.docx,
this appears in the same June 24 internal email, mid-to-late document, on or near the page labeled “6/24.”
Attach the complete signed vacatur order as Exhibit D if available.
Key quoted language:
“6/23/25-UI-25009642 - Vacated (void ab initio) Decision of deputy that held the claimant overpaid $378[.]”
“OP amt of 378.00 for bwe 10/5 is remov[ed].”
What this shows:
VEC’s internal records state that the deputy decision imposing the $378 overpayment was vacated
void ab initio, meaning VEC characterized the overpayment decision as void from its inception.
The next-day internal instruction specifically called for checking whether the $378 overpayment had been removed.
Implication for reconciliation:
VEC should immediately confirm that its benefit system, claimant ledger, correspondence history,
collection records, and any offset calculation no longer reflect that $378 overpayment. If any amount
was withheld, recouped, intercepted, or offset because of that overpayment, VEC should identify the
amount, date, and destination of every transaction and explain what corrective credit, refund, or
payment will be issued.

Practical Assembly
-
For Exhibit A, use the complete page containing German’s June 24 email and list of decisions.
Do not crop away the sender, date, subject line, or signature.
-
For Exhibit B, use the complete Horn email page so the claimant ID, date, subject line,
and full instruction remain visible.
-
For Exhibits C and D, use the full signed decision/order—not only the internal email summary—
if you possess those documents. Insert a simple cover page before each document identifying it
as “Exhibit C” or “Exhibit D.”
-
If Proof.docx does not have stable page numbers, identify the source by sender, date, email
subject, and distinctive quoted language. That is more reliable than relying on a guessed page number.
