Section 1. Definitions. Unless the context otherwise requires, terms used in rules, regulations, interpretations, forms, and other official pronouncements issued by the Commission shall have the following meanings:
(a) 'Address of Record' means the address given when the Claimant files his new or additional claim or clearly and unequivocally provides the Division with a change in writing, a change using his Personal Identification Number (PIN), or a change obtained on the record in an appeals examiner's hearing. The employer's address of record shall be the address given when he registers as an employer with the Division or clearly and unequivocally provides the Division with a change in writing. This does not prohibit the Division from sending correspondence or notices to another address for the Claimant or employer if it has reason to believe he may have moved without notifying the Division, but it does not impose a duty on the Division to do so.
(b) 'Backpay' is the payment of wages or compensation for lost wages to an employee or ex-employee for a period of time during which the employer improperly prevented him from performing services. Backpay is considered wages for purposes of W.S. 27-3-102(a)(xv) and (xviii).
(c) 'Calendar quarter' means a period of three consecutive months ending on March 31, June 30, September 30, or December 31.
(d) 'Calendar week' means the calendar week of seven consecutive calendar days, beginning 12:01 a.m. Sunday, and ending 12:00 midnight the following Saturday.
(e) 'Claims'
(i) 'Additional Claim' means a notice of new unemployment filed at the beginning of a second or subsequent series of claims within a benefit year or within a period of eligibility when a break of one week or more occurs in the claim series with intervening employment.
(ii) 'Initial Claim' means both new and additional claims.
(iii) 'New Claim' means the first claim filed to request a determination of entitlement to and eligibility for compensation. This results in a Division generated document of an appealable monetary determination provided to the Claimant.
