Colorado Revised Statutes Title 8. Labor and Industry § 8-74-109. Payment of benefits

(1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this article, if a decision grants benefits to a claimant, such benefits shall be promptly paid in accordance with and upon issuance of the decision. If further benefits are granted by a subsequent decision, all accrued and unpaid benefits shall be promptly paid. If a subsequent decision denies or reduces benefits, subsequent benefits shall be denied or reduced pursuant to and upon issuance of the decision. If the final decision denies benefits, no employer's rating account shall be charged with benefits paid.

(2) If by reason of fraud, mistake, or clerical error a claimant receives moneys in excess of benefits to which he is entitled or if a claimant receives benefits to which he is subsequently determined to be not entitled as a result of a final decision in the appeals process, the division shall recoup such moneys in accordance with section 8-79-102 and such regulations as may be prescribed by the director of the division.
