FRAUD.
A. If the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission determines that any individual has made a false statement or representation or has failed to disclose a material fact in violation of Section 5-102 of this title, the individual shall be ineligible to receive unemployment compensation for the week that determination is made by the Commission and for the next following fifty-one (51) weeks, and no benefit year shall be established during such period of ineligibility. After a determination has been made that an individual has violated Section 5-102 of this title in a particular benefit year, if the Commission determines that another violation of that section has occurred in any subsequent benefit year, the individual shall be ineligible to receive unemployment compensation for the week in which the subsequent determination is made by the Commission and for the next following one hundred three (103) weeks, and no benefit year shall be established during such period of ineligibility.
B. If the Commission makes a determination as described in subsection A of this section, the individual shall be disqualified for each week benefits were paid as a result of a false statement or representation or a failure to disclose a material fact, and the individual shall be deemed overpaid for the entire amount of benefits paid as a result of claimant fraud.
C. The ineligibility and disqualification set forth in subsections A and B of this section are in addition to the penalty provided by Section 5-102 of this title, and shall be invoked irrespective of whether such individual is prosecuted for violation of Section 5-102 of this title, when the Commission makes such a determination of ineligibility or disqualification.
D. A determination of fraud must be made within two (2) years of the date on which the violation occurred.
