Student workers should be prepared to return to work in their on campus positions when their employing department requests they return. If a student worker who has been asked to return to work by the University chooses not to return to work, the student may no longer be eligible to receive Texas Unemployment Compensation Benefits. Refusal to return to work could result in the student employee owing money back to the state if a post-payment audit were to take place and the student employee was found to be ineligible to receive the funds or was overpaid.
