the compensation fund in the same manner provided by Sections 
213.031, 213.032, 213.033, 213.035, and 213.051 for the collection 
of past due contributions.
	(b)  In this section, "improper benefit" means any [the] 
benefit or payment obtained under this subtitle by a person who was 
or is subsequently disqualified or otherwise determined to be 
ineligible to receive the benefit or payment for any reason under a 
final determination or decision made under this subtitle[:
		[(1)  because of the nondisclosure or 
misrepresentation by the person or by another of a material fact, 
without regard to whether the nondisclosure or misrepresentation 
was known or fraudulent; and
		[(2)  while:                                                 
			[(A)  any condition imposed by this subtitle for 
the person's qualifying for the benefit was not fulfilled in the 
person's case; or
			[(B)  the person was disqualified from receiving 
benefits].
	(c)  If a person receives improper benefits due to a mistake 
by the commission, the commission shall begin to recover the 
improper benefits not later than the first anniversary after the 
date the last improper benefit was paid.  Improper benefits under 
this subsection may not be collected in the manner described by 
Subsection (a)(2).  The commission may recover the improper 
benefits only by:
		(1)  deducting the amount of the improper benefits from 
any future benefits payable to the person; or
		(2)  offering a payment plan to the person.                            
	SECTION ____.  The change in law made by this Act to Section 
214.002, Labor Code, applies only to a claim for unemployment 
compensation benefits filed with the Texas Workforce Commission on 
or after the effective date of this Act.  A claim filed before the 
effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the 
date the claim was filed, and the former law is continued in effect 
for that purpose.
