§ 27-3-401 — Filing notice and electronic communications

(a) Benefit claims shall be filed in accordance with
regulations of the commission.
(b) Employers shall post information on benefit rights in
locations accessible to employed individuals. Copies of
regulations and information on benefit rights shall be supplied
by the department at no cost.
(c) A claimant or employer may elect to have
determinations, decisions or notices transmitted electronically
through an internet application approved by the department, in
lieu of transmission through the regular mail. Once the election
is made by the claimant or employer, any determination, decision
or notice required to be mailed to that claimant or employer by
this article may be transmitted instead through an internet
application approved by the department. Upon the completion of
every electronic transmission authorized by this subsection, the
department shall provide to the claimant or employer an
electronic acknowledgement specifying the date and time when the
transmission was sent or received. Except as otherwise required
by rules applicable to appeals to the courts of this state,
determinations, decisions or notices transmitted by an approved
electronic means may be appealed or protested by use of the same
means. For the purpose of all relevant time limits established
by this article, electronically transmitted information shall be
deemed delivered on the date indicated on the acknowledgment
required by this subsection, or if no acknowledgement exists, on
the date the electronic delivery is initiated by the party
sending the information.
