What’s in it
This bill requires the department of workforce development to send notifications that a claim for unemployment benefits has been filed to parties to the claim by the parties’ choice of certified or electronic mail rather than ordinary mail as required under current law. The bill also gives parties to a claim 10 days from the date notification of the department’s decision on the claim is received to appeal the decision. Current law requires that an appeal be filed after a claimant or other interested party is notified or 10 days after the notification was mailed to the claimant’s last known address.
