Sec. 31-244-9a. Employer’s appeal of charges resulting from its nonparticipation in the fact-finding process or in response to a request for information by the Administrator

The issue of an employer’s non-participation in a fact-finding or in response to a request for information by the Administrator may not be the subject of an appeal to an Employment Security Appeals Referee until the effect of such non-participation is reflected in (1) a statement of quarterly charges (Form UC-54Q) in the case of a contributing employer, (2) in the case of a reimbursing employer, a monthly billing statement, or (3) in the case of an out-of-state employer, first notification to the employer from the Administrator. The employer may appeal its assessment of charges resulting from its non-participation in the fact-finding process upon receipt of the first statement of quarterly or monthly charges which includes charges resulting from the employer’s non-participation. Such statement of quarterly or monthly charges shall be the only determination of the Administrator through which the issue of nonparticipation may be appealed. A contributing employer’s appeal from this determination shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 31-225a(h)(3) of the Connecticut General Statutes. A reimbursing employer’s appeal from this determination shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 31-225(g)(2)(D) of the Connecticut General Statutes.
