Ind. Code § 22-4-19-13 – Benefits; charges to experience accounts; change of rates; notice

(a) An employer that is required to be provided a notice or report under this section is entitled to delivery of the notice or report by the United States Postal Service using first class mail. If an employer wants to receive notices and reports by mail, the employer shall notify the department on a form provided by the department.
(b) 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 provided with notice of such fact in order that the employer may have an opportunity to renew and remake an offer of employment to such claimant.
(c) Upon the filing by an individual of an additional claim for benefits, a notice shall be promptly provided to an employer from whose employ the individual claims to have been last separated.
(d) Upon the filing by an individual of an initial claim for benefits, a notice shall be promptly provided to the base period employer or base period employers and to the employing units 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 provided 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.
(e) 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 shall promptly be provided 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 .
(f) Every employer shall be provided with 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.
(g) Following the computation of rates of contribution for employers for each calendar year, each employer shall be provided with notice not later than ninety (90) days after the effective date of such rates, 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.
