(a) In the absence of jurisdiction by the Board of Review, a party to a benefit claim may file a request for reopening of an Appeal Tribunal decision if:

1. The party's appeal to the Board of Review was dismissed as late without good cause;

2. The party did not appear at the Appeal Tribunal hearing for good cause shown;

3. The party is seeking to amend the Appeal Tribunal decision due to a mistake in law or computation thereby affecting the legal conclusion of the Appeal Tribunal; or

4. The party has new or additional evidence.

(b) Such request shall be submitted as promptly as possible, shall not act as a stay of proceedings in the case, and shall not suspend the payment of benefits. Additional time for such request may be granted where fraud, newly discovered evidence, or other good cause is shown.

(c) The Appeal Tribunal shall notify all interested parties of the request for reopening. The parties shall have 10 days to submit written arguments. After reviewing the matter, the Appeal Tribunal will schedule a hearing, issue an amended decision, or deny the request in an order explaining the reasons. All interested parties will be notified by the Appeal Tribunal of any subsequent decision or order which shall contain appeal rights to the Board of Review.
