   Opinion by

Judge Williams, Jr.,

Noris Walismith (Claimant) appeals from an Unemployment Compensation Board of Review (Board) order denying benefits under Section 401(b) of the Unemployment Compensation Law (Law) and, pur■suant to Section 804(a) of the Law, ordering recoupment of a fault overpayment for weeks during which Claimant did not report part-time earnings to the Office of Employment Security (OES).

The Board’s factual findings are not disputed. Upon being validly separated from employment, OES deemed Claimant to be eligible for a weekly benefit amount of $120.00, a weekly dependency allowance of $8.00 and a partial benefit credit of $48.00. From week ending October 4, 1980 through December 27, 1980, a period of thirteen weeks, Claimant received unemployment compensation totaling $1,664.00. Coextensively, Claimant worked part-time as a sales clerk earning weekly wages which exceeded her partial benefit credit by varying amounts.

Although Claimant read and understood the OES information booklet which mandated that all wages earned during each claim period be reported, Claimant failed to report her part-time earnings to the compensation authorities. The referee’s decision, summarily affirmed by the Board, determined Claimant to be ineligible for benefits under Section 401(b) of the Law and ordered the recoupment of the $1,664.00 fault overpayment pursuant to Section 804(a) of the Law.

Claimant asserts that the recoupable, fault overpayment should not equal the amount of total benefits received, $1,664.00, but the sum of the amounts by which Claimant’s weekly part-time earnings exceeded her partial benefit credit. Rather than being disqualified from receiving all benefits, Claimant would, therefore, remain eligible for her weekly benefit rate less the amount by which her part-time wages exceeded her partial benefit credit.

Claimant’s unsupported contention is meritless in light of our holding in Morocco v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 38 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 285, 392 A.2d 913 (1978). In Morocco, the Board ordered the recoupment of fault overpayments made to a claimant who failed to report weekly part-time' wages (in excess of his partial benefit credit) to OES. In rejecting an argument identical to the one proffered sub judice (recommending partial benefits for claimants who knowingly fail to notify OES of their weekly part-time earnings), we held, citing Section 801(b) of the Law, the delinquent claimant to be disqualified from receiving any benefits; all compensation thus being properly subject to full recoupment under Section 804(a) of the Law. Id. See, Rohrbach v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 69 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 172, 450 A.2d 323 (1982); Summers v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 60 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 146, 430 A.2d 1046 (1981).

We accordingly affirm the order of the Board.
