(a) General rule.--If a payment plan agreement exists between an employer or claimant and the department for a liability for which the employer or claimant is seeking amnesty, the employer or claimant shall pay the amount or amounts required by section 1505-A 1 during the amnesty period in order to receive amnesty, notwithstanding any terms of the agreement to the contrary.
(b) Proceedings.--The department shall not commence any administrative or judicial proceeding against an employer with regard to any contributions, reimbursement, interest or penalty paid under the program, or any interest or penalties waived under the program. The department shall not commence any administrative or judicial proceeding against a claimant with regard to any overpayment or interest paid under the program or any overpayment or interest waived under the program.
(c) Liabilities.--If a liability for contributions described in section 1503-A(a)(2) 2 or liability for an overpayment described in section 1503-A(b)(3) is disclosed and paid under the program, and the department determines that the liability as disclosed was understated, the department may commence administrative or judicial proceedings and impose interest, penalties and other monetary obligations only with regard to the difference between the liability as disclosed and the correct amount of the liability.
