Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies
(a) In order to be considered timely for purposes of Section 31-241 of the Connecticut General Statutes, an employer's written response to the notice of a predetermination hearing must be actually received by mail, in person or by facsimile machine (FAX) in the office of the Administrator where such hearing is scheduled to be heard by the time the hearing is scheduled to commence on the scheduled hearing date. In cases where the employer elects to participate in the predetermination hearing process by telephone, such election must be communicated to the Administrator no later than the close of business, two days prior to the date of said hearing along with the name, title and telephone number of the individual who will participate in the predetermination hearing on behalf of the employer. Nothing in this section precludes consideration of a late response received before an eligibility determination is made, or subsequent to such determination in the Administrator's exercise of continuous jurisdiction under Section 31-243 of the Connecticut General Statutes. However, such consideration shall not relieve the employer of any charges imposed pursuant to Section 31-241 of the Connecticut General Statutes as a consequence of untimely response.
(b) In order to be considered timely for purposes of 31-273(k) of the Connecticut General Statutes, an employer's written response to the Administrator’s request for information on a claim for unemployment compensation benefits shall be actually received by mail, in person or by facsimile machine (FAX) within the time frame prescribed in the Administrator’s request.
