R994-404-102. Good Cause for Late Filing

(1) Good cause for not filing within the 90 day period can be established if:

(a) the claimant contested the release to work date by filing for a hearing with the appropriate administrative agency and there was no substantial delay between the date of the decision of the agency and the filing of the claim;

(b) the delay in filing was due to circumstances beyond the claimant's control;

(c) the claimant delayed filing due to circumstances which were compelling and reasonable; or

(d) the claimant returned to work immediately after receiving a release from his health care provider and there was no substantial delay between the time the employment ended and the filing of the claim.

(2) A lack of knowledge about the wage freeze provisions due to the claimant's failure to inquire or the employer's failure to provide information does not establish good cause for failure to file within the 90 day period.
