R994-306-202. Relief of Charges Decisions

When an employer makes a written request for relief of charges, a decision is made as to the employer's liability for benefit costs.

(a) The employer is notified of the decision and if an appeal is not filed, the decision becomes final and binding on both the employer and the Department.

(b)(i) A request for relief of charges or appeal that is filed after the expiration of the applicable time limit may be considered by the Department if:

(A) the employer has good cause for the late request or appeal as provided in R994-508-104;

(B) relief of charges was denied due to a mistake as to the facts and the Department did not rely on the requesting or appealing employer's failure to submit correct information in determining a claimant's eligibility for benefits. However, the Department will not consider such a request after September 30 with respect to benefits paid in the fiscal year that ended the prior June 30, even if there was a mistake as to facts.

(c) If the Department fails to give the relief of charges granted by a previous decision, the employer must request a correction of this error in accordance with Section R994-303-103.
