The Board has revised its decision to deny a refund of $1,200 contribution to the VEAP and dismiss the claim for a refund of $1,200 contribution to the MGIB. The original decision granted a refund but did not address the MGIB issue.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was clear and unmistakable error in both granting a refund of the VEAP contribution and failing to address the MGIB contribution claim.
