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-4-207 states that "the department shall prescribe rules" defining total unemployment, partial unemployment, etc. This rule defines those terms including how they apply to self-employed individuals, corporate officers, volunteers, commission salespersons, etc. Section 35A-1-104 authorizes the Department of Workforce Services to adopt rules. Subsection 35A-1-104(4) authorizes the Department to establish eligibility standards for its programs. Subsection 35A-4-502(1)(b) authorizes the Department to make rules necessary for the administration of the Employment Security Act.

 

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

The department has received no comments, written or otherwise, regarding this rule in the last five years.

 

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

The rule is necessary to help determine when an individual is unemployed and is required by Section 35A-4-207. Without this rule, the department would not be consistent in determining benefits in cases involving self-employed individuals, volunteers, corporate officers, and cases of partial employment.
