Section 1. Applicability. When the Employment Security Law provides a deadline for filing appeals, paying contributions, making reports, or for any other purpose, the following rules apply:
(a) In Person. When a person makes a payment or files an appeal, report, or other document in person with a representative of this Division, that payment or filing is deemed to occur the day the person physically delivers the document or payment into the hands of the Division representative authorized to receive it.
(b) By Mail. When a person makes a payment or files an appeal, report or other document with the Division by mail, that payment is deemed to be made or document is deemed to have been filed as of the postmark date on the envelope by which the payment or document is mailed. If the envelope containing the document or payment is no longer available or if the postmark is not legible, the document shall be presumed filed or payment made according to the following:
(i) If it was mailed in Wyoming, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that it was mailed two working days prior to the date it was stamped received by the Division.
(ii) If it was mailed outside of Wyoming, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that it was mailed three working days prior to the date it was stamped received by the Division.
(c) By Fax. When a person files a protest, appeal, report or other document with the Division by fax, that document is deemed to have been filed as of the date the document is stamped received by the Division. The fax must contain sufficient information to identify the party providing the information and the purpose for which it is intended. The party sending the fax assumes the risk of transmission errors or illegibility.
(d) By Internet. When a person files a claim by Internet, that claim is deemed to have been filed on the date the complete claim is received by the Division.
(e) Hearing. Upon timely request or appeal, the person filing or paying in an apparently untimely manner shall be given a hearing on the question of the timeliness of his filing or paying.
By Phone. When a person files a claim by phone with a representative of this Division, that claim is deemed to have been filed on the date the phone call occurred.
Section 2. Deadline on Saturday, Sunday, or Legal Holiday. When a deadline for making a payment or filing an appeal, report, or other document with this Division falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the deadline is extended to the next working day. However, such days shall otherwise be counted in computing time limits.
