NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Section 35A-4-403 states the Department may prescribe by rule how and when claims are made and what information has to be provided. That same section provides when benefits can be paid on an ongoing basis. Section 35A-1-104 authorizes the Department to enact rules. Section 35A-4-502 authorizes the Department to make rules for the administration of the Employment Security Act (Title 35A, Chapter 4)

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No comments have been received since the last five-year review.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule is essential to describe and define when and how claims are filed and what a claimant has to do to remain eligible like be able and available for full-time work and be seeking work. It also provides for sanctions to both employers and claimants for failure to provide information. The Department cannot administer the program within the state and federal requirements without this rule. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
