Deputy's Determination In Answer To Employer's Protest

When a claimant files for a week of benefits and upon receipt of a timely employer protest, a deputy gathers all facts in regard to the claim and issues a determination showing whether the claimant is disqualified from receiving benefits or is eligible to receive benefits. A copy of this determination is mailed to the employer filing the timely protest. In case the determination denies benefits to the claimant for any reason, the employer will be notified of the date the claimant became eligible.

When the deputy's determination disqualifies a claimant as a result of separation from work or because of refusal to accept work with the employer, the account of a contributing employer will not be charged with any subsequent benefits paid the claimant based on wages paid prior to the date of the separation or job refusal. There is no account charge protection for reimbursable employers. They will be liable for all benefit payments.

A deputy's determination involving only an eligibility issue does not relieve any employer's account of charges for weeks outside the specific ineligible period.
