Indiana Code - Labor and Safety - Title 22, Section 22-4-19-13

Benefits; charges to experience accounts; change of rates; notice

Sec. 13. (a) Where an employer makes an offer of employment
directly to a claimant, promptly giving written notice to the
department of such offer, or when any such employer makes such
offer of employment in writing through the department, the
commissioner, the deputy, or an authorized representative of the state
or the United States employment service, which offer shall specify
such claimant by name, and when such claimant thereafter fails to
register subsequent to the receipt of such offer of employment by the
department, the commissioner, the deputy, or an authorized
representative of the state or the United States employment service,
then a notice in writing shall promptly be mailed to such employer
of such claimant's said failure to return and to register. If such
claimant thereafter, in the claimant's benefit period, again registers
or renews and continues the claimant's claim for benefits, such
employer shall promptly be mailed notice of such fact in order that
the employer may have an opportunity to renew and remake an offer
of employment to such claimant.
(b) Upon the filing by an individual of an additional claim for
benefits, a notice in writing or a carbon copy of such additional claim
shall be mailed promptly to the base period employer or employers
and to the employing unit including an employer from whose employ
the individual claims to have been last separated.
(c) Upon the filing by an individual of an initial claim for benefits,
a notice in writing or a carbon copy of such initial claim shall be
mailed promptly to the employing unit including an employer from
whose employ the individual claims to have been last separated. The
computation of the benefit rights of such individual shall be made as
promptly as possible and, if such claim is deemed valid, then a notice
of benefit liability shall be mailed to each employer whose
experience account is potentially chargeable with benefits to be paid
to such individual. Such notice shall contain the date, the name and
social security number of the individual, the ending date of the
individual's base period, and the week ending date of the first week
of the individual's benefit year. Such notice shall further contain
information as to the proportion of benefits chargeable to the
employer's experience account in ratio to the earnings of such
individual from such employer and shall advise such employer of the
employer's right to protest such claim and the payment of any
benefits thereon and of the place and time within which protest must
be made and the form and contents thereof.
(d) Whenever a determination is made with respect to the validity
of any claim for benefits, or the eligibility of any claimant for
benefits, which involves the cancellation of wage credits or benefit
rights, the imposition of any disqualification, period of ineligibility
or penalty, or the denial thereof, a notice in writing shall promptly be
mailed to such claimant and to each employer directly involved or
connected with the issue raised as to the validity of such claim, the
eligibility of such claimant for benefits, or the imposition of a
disqualification period of ineligibility or penalty, or the denial

thereof. Such employer or such claimant may protest any such
determination within such time limits and in such manner as
provided in IC 22-4-17-2 and upon said protest shall be entitled to a
hearing as provided in IC 22-4-17-2 and IC 22-4-17-3.
(e) Every employer shall be mailed a monthly report of benefit
charges which shall contain an itemized statement showing the
names of individuals to whom benefits were paid and charged to the
experience account of such employer, the weeks with respect to
which each such individual received benefits, the amount thereof,
and the total amount of benefits charged to such employer's said
account during the period covered by such report.
(f) Following the computation of rates of contribution for
employers for each calendar year, each employer shall be mailed not
later than ninety (90) days after the effective date of such rates a
notice in writing setting out the employer's rate of contribution for
such year, computed by the department as of the preceding June 30,
together with sufficient information for such employer to determine
and compute the amount of a voluntary payment required from such
employer in order to qualify for and obtain a lower rate of
contribution for such year and also advising such employer of the
length of time within which or last date upon which said voluntary
payment will be received or can be made.
