(1) ARM 24.11.1221, 24.11.1223, 24.11.1225, 24.11.1228, and 24.11.1229 govern the department's procedures relative to its administrative cooperation with other states adopting similar rules or regulations to implement the interstate reciprocal overpayment recovery arrangement, to which the department is signatory, to provide for the recovery of improper payments of state and federal unemployment compensation benefits from individuals filing under the interstate benefit payment plan, the interstate arrangement for the combining of employment and wages, or intrastate under any state's law. In the interest of promoting uniformity of interpretation and consistency of application between Montana and the other states, the department has adopted, with minor modifications, the model rule language promulgated by the interstate conference of employment security agencies. The duties and responsibilities imposed by this subchapter are binding only on the state of Montana in its role as a requesting state or a recovering state.
