Unemployment Compensation: Pro Se Appellant – Overpayment – Eligibility

Where a pro se claimant of unemployment compensation, who argued that he should not be required to reimburse the Division of Employment Security for overpaid benefits, the claimant’s application for review referred only to the eligibility decision, rather than to the overpayment determination, which was not appealed, so the appellate court lacks legal authority to address the issues related to overpayment.

Judgment is affirmed.
