Current through Register No. 40, October 3, 2024

(a) Third party administrator ("TPA") means a third party acting as a registered agent for an employer pursuant to Emp 303.10.

(b) If the department determines that it is necessary to verify the accuracy of a claimant's reported earnings or hours worked during a week for which he or she has submitted a claim for benefits, the department shall determine the claimant's earnings or hours worked for such week from information contained in department records; or

(c) If such information cannot be obtained from department records, the department shall require the claimant's employer or TPA to provide such information by:

(1) Posting a notification on the employer's or TPA's online homepage requiring the employer or TPA to respond to such request; and

(2) Sending an equivalent notification to the employer or TPA by email or United States mail, depending on the employer's or TPA's preference as established during initial registration.

(d) Upon receiving such notification, the employer or TPA shall provide the requested information online by choosing the prompt "Response to Work and Earning Request" at the employer's or TPA's homepage and shall complete and submit the "Response to Work and Earning Request" form (rev-07-18).

(e) If the employer is unregistered, the department shall send a notification to the employer by United States mail requiring the employer to report the claimant's earnings or hours worked in accordance with this section. The department shall provide a temporary password with the notification which the employer may use to access the department's website and respond online.

(f) Unregistered employers who receive a notice pursuant to paragraph (e) above may respond by:

(1) Using the temporary password provided with the department's notification to respond online;

(2) Registering to conduct business with the department online in accordance with Emp 405.04; or

(3) Requesting that the department provide a paper form as provided in paragraph (g) below.

(g) For employers who request to respond using a paper form, the department shall provide a "Payment Voucher-Report of Payment & Hours Worked" form (rev-7/18) by United States mail.

(h) The employer or TPA shall supply all information requested in this section within 7 days of:

(1) The date on which the notice of request for information is posted on the employer's or TPA's homepage; or

(2) The mailing date of the "Payment Voucher-Report of Payment & Hours Worked" form (rev-7/18) as indicated on the form.

(i) Failure by an employer or TPA to respond to a request for information pursuant to this section within the time limits established by paragraph (h) above may, upon review, be deemed by the department to be a waiver of the exemption from charging the employer's account for benefits paid to a claimant during a period of continued concurrent employment under Emp 304.04.
