Opinion by
Judge Blatt,Andrew Celia (claimant) appeals here from a determination by tbe Unemployment Compensation Board of Review (Board) that he is liable for a fault overpayment of unemployment compensation benefits because be did not notify tbe Bureau of Employment Security of bis application for Social Security disability benefits.
On November 20, 1974, subsequent to bis being laid off by bis employer, tbe claimant filed an application for and was granted unemployment compensation benefits by tbe Bureau of Employment Security (Bureau). On December 30, 1974, be applied for Social Security disability benefits, and these were approved in February 1975, retroactive to tbe application date. Claimant so notified tbe Bureau on March 3, 1975 whereupon tbe Bureau terminated his benefits as of February 15, 1975 holding that be was unavailable for work and therefore ineligible under Section 401(d) of tbe Unemployment Compensation Law1 (Act), 43 P.S. §801(d). Claimant’s ineligibility for benefits *534from November 23, 1974 tbrougb March. 22, 1975 was affirmed upon appeal to tbe referee and was not appealed. A subsequent determination was made by tbe Bureau, however, that the overpayment of benefits which the claimant had received and to which he had not been entitled, was a “fault overpayment” under Section 804(a) of the Act, 43 P.S. §874, and this determination was affirmed on appeal following a hearing before a referee who found that:
[t]he claimant’s overpayment was the result of his failure to properly inform the Bureau that he had filed for Social Security disability benefits on December 30, 1974, which was approved and as a result he was found not able and available for work.
On appeal to the Board, this determination was modified, establishing a Section 804(b)2 “non fault overpayment” for the period prior to December 30, 1974, and a Section 804(a)3 “fault overpayment” for the period subsequent thereto. Upon request for reconsideration, the Board vacated its decision and granted *535oral argument, but it later issued an order reinstating its prior decision. This appeal followed.
The claimant argues that it was an error of law for the Board to determine that the overpayment subsequent to December 30, 1974, is a “fault overpayment” merely because he had applied for Social Security benefits on that date. He contends that there is no rule requiring him to report to the Bureau that he had applied for such benefits and that there is no evidence in the record to indicate that he misled the Bureau in any way.
This Court has recently held in Rozanc v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 27 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 369, 371, 366 A.2d 611, 612 (1976) that a conclusion of “fault overpayment” must be accompanied by a finding of more than an application for other benefits:
The mere fact that the appellant applied for the undeserved benefits does not in itself create a ‘fault overpayment.’ The Board must find more than a voluntary act to support a finding of fault; it must determine whether ‘blame, censure, impropriety, shortcoming, or culpability attaches’ to the appellant. Daniels v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 10 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 241, 246, 309 A.2d 738, 742 (1973).
There are no such findings here. The record shows that, after receiving notice that he had been granted Social Security disability benefits, the claimant promptly notified the Bureau, and it contains no evidence whatever that he was required to inform the Bureau at any earlier date. We believe, therefore, that the Board’s decision that the overpayment subsequent to December 30, 1974 was a “fault overpayment” must be reversed.
*536The claimant did not appeal the referee’s determination of his ineligibility during’ the period he had received benefits between November 30, 1974 through February 15, 1975; the finding of an overpayment of $1241.00 is therefore binding. See Rozanc, supra, and Jones v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 21 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 250, 344 A.2d 287 (1975). This overpayment, however, as indicated above, must not be considered to be a “fault overpayment” and under Section 804(b) of the Act, 43 P.S. §874(b) this claimant’s liability for “nonfault overpayment” is limited to deductions from future benefits.
