Can I get a New York State refund for Tax Year 2022 for NYPFL capped at $423.71 taken out on two separate W2's

My employer was acquired by another company in mid year of 2022. The capped amount for NY Paid Family Leave is $423.71.  My first employer withheld the capped amount and it's shown on the 1st W2. The new company also witheld $423.71 and it shown on a 2nd W2.  Therefore a total of $847.42 was withheld exceeding the capped amount.  My new employer advised that I should get this back from my tax refund. If this is correct, how do I categorize this credit? Thanks in advance.
