The director shall find that an individual has been overpaid unemployment benefits where the individual was an elected official and the individual’s unemployment insurance claim was based on income solely derived from his or her employment as an elected official. An individual who is liable pursuant to this section shall not be eligible for waiver of the overpayment pursuant to Section 1375. In the event of an unemployment insurance claim based on more than one source of income, if the base period of a new claim includes any wage credits earned as an elected official pursuant to Section 634.5, the individual shall be liable for any amount of unemployment insurance benefits overpaid as a result of a recomputation to remove the base period wage credits earned as an elected official. In that event, the provisions of Section 1375 shall not apply to this section with respect to the wage credits earned as an elected official.
