Rule 300-2-7-.06. Notices Required From Employers Furnishing Separation Information

1. (1) Employers are required to complete Form DOL-800, "Separation Notice", for each worker separated regardless of the reason for separation (except when mass separation Form DOL-402 and Form DOL-402A notices are filed).

   1. (a) The "Separation Notice" must be completed, signed by the employer or authorized agent, dated and delivered to the separated employee in electronic or hard copy format on the last day of work in accordance with printed instructions on the Form DOL-800.
   2. (b) If the employee is no longer available at the time employment ceases, thus preventing the employer from delivering the notice to the separated employee on the last day of work, the notice shall be mailed to the last known address of the employee within three (3) days of the date that the separation occurred or became known to the employer.
   3. (c) A copy of Form DOL-800, properly executed by the former employer as required by Georgia law, shall be presented to the Georgia Department of Labor local office by any individual filing a claim for unemployment insurance.

2. (2) The employer, if it is the most recent employer as defined by O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-43, may receive a Form DOL-1199FF or DOL-403FF, "Notice of Claim Filed and Request for Separation Information".

   1. (a) If the Form DOL-800 was presented, the employer may respond and provide separation information on Form DOL-1199FF or Form DOL-403FF if they wish to do so. This shall constitute a timely response to the claim.
   2. (b) If the Form DOL-800 was not presented, in order to be considered a timely response to the claim, the employer must respond to the claimant's statement on the Form DOL-403FF or Form DOL-1199FF in the manner prescribed herein and in accordance with the instructions printed on the Form 403FF or Form DOL-1199FF.
3. (3) Form DOL-800 or Form DOL-403FF or Form DOL-1199FF must be signed and otherwise complete for the employer's account to be considered as a timely response to the claim.
