Section 1332 Of Article 3. Filing, Determination, And Payment Of Unemployment Compensation Benefit Claims From California Unemployment Insurance Code >> Division 1. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 5. >> Article 3.
1332
. (a) The department shall promptly serve notice of any
determination of eligibility for benefits under this part or Part 3
or Part 4 of this division on the claimant and on any employer or
employing unit which prior to this determination has furnished the
department with information regarding the claimant's eligibility
pursuant to Sections 1327 and 1331. Service shall be made personally
or by mail. Failure to serve this notice shall not affect the
determination of eligibility.
(1) "Notice" is that notification which apprises the party of a
determination of eligibility and allows that party to respond
accordingly.
(2) If the department is or should be aware that the notice was
not received by the party to whom it was addressed, including, but
not limited to, the return to the department of the notice by the
United States Post Office, the department shall reissue the notice at
such time as the department can determine a corrected mailing
address for the affected party or otherwise ensure receipt. The
affected party shall have appeal rights pursuant to subdivisions (b)
and (c), and pursuant to Section 1328.
(b) The department may for good cause reconsider any determination
within 15 days after an appeal to an administrative law judge is
filed. If no appeal is filed, the department may for good cause
reconsider any determination within 30 days after mailing or personal
service of the notice of determination. The department may, if a
claimant has not filed an appeal to an administrative law judge from
any determination that finds that a claimant is ineligible or
disqualified, or if an appeal has been filed but is either withdrawn
or dismissed, for good cause also reconsider the determination during
the benefit year or extended duration period or extended benefit
period to which the determination relates. The department shall give
notice of any reconsidered determination to the claimant and any
employer or employing unit that received notice under Sections 1328
and 1331 and the claimant or employer may appeal therefrom in the
manner prescribed in Section 1328.
The director shall designate individuals to review and reconsider
appealed determinations. No individual designated shall be the same
individual who made the initial determination in the same matter.
(c) The department may for good cause reconsider any computation
or recomputation provided for in this article during the benefit year
or extended duration period to which the notice of computation or
recomputation relates, except that no recomputation may be considered
with respect to any issue considered or under consideration in an
appeal taken from a denial of recomputation. The department shall
promptly notify the claimant and each of the claimant's base period
employers of the recomputation. The claimant and any base period
employer may protest the accuracy of the recomputation as prescribed
in Section 1330.
(d) This section shall become operative on July 1, 2015.
