Ms. Berlin advises that the New York State Department of Labor has amended its regulations addressing processing unemployment applications, 12 NYCRR 472.12.

Section 472.12, among other things, sets out:

1. The deadline for an employer to respond to a DOL request for employee information (which now may be shorter than 10 calendar days);

2. The methods by which the DOL can communicate requests for information (which include letter, electronic communication, fax, the State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES), mail, private delivery service, phone or any other DOL approved method);

3. New criteria regarding the adequacy of the contents of an employer’s response; and

4. Sets out potential consequences of an untimely or inadequate response, which include that the employer’s account may be charged for an overpayment even for the first untimely response unless the employer provides good cause for the failure. The DOL is given the authority to relieve an employer of charges that are the result of a DOL error or a disaster emergency as declared by the Governor.

Ms. Berlin notes that the employer’s response will be deemed received by the DOL on the date indicated by the date stamp on an incoming document.
