Cite as 2023 Ark. App. 588 ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS DIVISION III No. E-22-513 Opinion Delivered December HOLLY HANCOCK 13, 2023 APPEAL FROM THE ARKANSAS APPELLANT BOARD OF REVIEW [NO. 2022-BR-01085] V. DIRECTOR, DIVISION OF WORKFORCE SERVICES APPELLEE REMANDED STEPHANIE POTTER BARRETT, Judge In this unbriefed employment-security-division case, Holly Hancock appeals to this court, challenging the Arkansas Board of Review’s decision requiring her to repay previously received unemployment-compensation benefits. This is a companion case to Hancock v. Director, 2023 Ark. App. 597, and Hancock v. Director, 2023 Ark. App. 598, also handed down today. We remand for further findings. In the underlying opinion by the Board of Review, the Board found that Hancock was liable to repay $381 in benefits. The record suggests that some of the benefits to be repaid were regular state unemployment benefits, but some were also funds provided through the federal CARES Act. The relevant analysis and this court’s conclusions are set forth in companion case Hancock v. Director, 2023 Ark. App. 597, and incorporated herein. Accordingly, we remand for the Board to make findings of fact and conclusions of law for the reasons set forth in that opinion. Remanded. MURPHY and BROWN, JJ., agree. Holly Hancock, pro se appellant. Cynthia L. Uhrynowycz, Associate General Counsel, for appellee. 2
