It depends, I think, on whether the overpayment was intentional or unintentional.  There are fraud issues involved here so different laws and rules apply.  But I believe that there are statutes of limitations for such offenses.  Did you check with the Ohio Department of Labor?  They will know and pursuing their website may answer your question as well.  Otherwise, I would suggest that you seek legal help in your area on the matter.  Before they come after you.  You do not need to be caught off guard by the matter. It could be very costly.  Good luck.
