Section 97B.10. Crediting of erroneous contributions.

  1.  If the system finds the employee or employer, or both, have erroneously paid contributions, including the payment of contributions prior to an individual’s valid decision to elect out of coverage under this chapter on or after January 1, 1999, pursuant to section 97B.42A, the system shall make an adjustment, compromise, or settlement and shall credit such payments to the appropriate party.

  2.  A claim of an employee or employer for a credit for erroneously paid contributions shall be made within three years of date of payment. However, the system may issue a credit to employees or employers after the expiration of the three-year deadline if the system finds that issuing the credit is just and equitable.

  3.  Interest shall not be paid on credits issued pursuant to this section. However, the system may, at any time, apply accumulated interest and interest dividends as provided in section 97B.70 on any credits issued under this section if the system finds that the crediting of interest is just and equitable.
