Employer's Protest Upon Receipt of Claim Notice

If an employer has information which it believes would cause an individual to be held ineligible or disqualified from receiving benefits, it should immediately file a protest with the Regional Claim Center of the Division where the claim was filed. The protest can be filed by mail, or by FAX. The location of the assigned Regional Claims Center is shown on the claim notice. A protest cannot be considered timely unless it is filed within 10 days after the claim notice was mailed. If filed by mail, the U.S. postmark or private meter date is used to determine the date of filing. If there is both a postmark date and a private meter date, the postmark date is used. If there is no U.S. postmark or meter date, the date received by the Division will be the controlling date.
