If a refund cannot be obtained from an employer, the employee may request assistance from the department. An employer who pays more contributions than are due is entitled to a refund or credit against future contributions if the employer certifies to the director by affidavit that the employee's share has been refunded to the employee.

(b) An employee who, in the employ of two or more employers, earns wages in one calendar year totaling more than the wages subject to contributions, is entitled to a refund of the excess contributions deducted from the employee's wages if

(1) the employee submits a refund application to the department, on a form provided by the director, during the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the deductions are made; or
