Section 47 — Employment Insurance Act: Debts to Crown

All amounts payable under section 38, 39, 43, 45, 46 or 46.1 are debts due to Her Majesty and are recoverable in the Federal Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction or in any other manner provided by this Act. If benefits become payable to a claimant, the amount of the indebtedness may be deducted and retained out of the benefits. No amount due under this section may be recovered more than 72 months after the day on which the liability arose. A limitation period established by subsection (3) does not run when there is pending an appeal or other review of a decision establishing the liability.
