AB 1932
An act to amend Section 2707.5 of the Unemployment Insurance Code, relating to unemployment insurance.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing unemployment insurance law allows the Employment Development Department for good cause to reconsider any determination with respect to a disability benefit claim prior to filing an appeal therefrom.
This bill would also allow the reconsideration within 30 days after an appeal to an administrative law judge is filed.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 2707.5 of the Unemployment Insurance Code is amended to read:
2707.5.
(a) The department may for good cause reconsider any determination provided for in this article prior to the filing of an appeal therefrom, or within 30 days after an appeal to an administrative law judge is filed. The department shall promptly notify the claimant of any reconsidered determination, and the claimant may appeal therefrom in the manner prescribed in Section 2707.2. The director shall be an interested party to any appeal.
(b) The department may for good cause reconsider any computation or recomputation provided for in this article within one year from the beginning date of the disability benefit period to which the notice of computation or recomputation relates, except that no recomputation may be considered with respect to any issue considered or under consideration in an appeal taken from a denial of recomputation. The department shall promptly notify the claimant of the recomputation. The claimant may protest the accuracy of the recomputation as prescribed in Section 2707.4.
